The All-Ireland Senior Football Championship of 1990 was the 104th staging of Ireland's premier Gaelic football knock-out competition. Cork won the championship, beating Meath 0-11 to 0-9 in the final at Croke Park, Dublin. Cork's victory completed a unique double for the county, as a few weeks earlier, their hurling counterparts won the Liam McCarthy Cup.

“Never burn bridges. Today’s junior prick, tomorrow’s senior partner.”
—Kevin Wade, U.S. screenwriter, and Mike Nichols. Katharine Parker (Sigourney Weaver)
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
