The 1990 New Zealand National Basketball League season was the ninth running of the competition. Many changes occurred for the NBL heading into the 1990 season, with Hutt Valley, Otago and Waitakere joining the ranks, while Waitemata departed the league for a second time, bring the league number to 12 teams. In addition, North Shore were renamed the North Harbour Vikings. The Canterbury Rams won the championship in 1990 to claim their third league title. In the NBL's first all-South Island grand final, the Rams prevailed over the Nelson Giants in a gripping game, winning 76–73 to go back-to-back.
