1990–91 Full Members Cup

The Full Members Cup 1990–91, known as the Zenith Data Systems Cup 1990–91 for sponsorship reasons, was the 6th staging of the Full Members Cup, a knock-out competition for English football clubs in First and Second Division. The winners were Crystal Palace and the runners-up were Everton.

The competition began on 20 November 1990 and ended with the final on 7 April 1991 at the Wembley Stadium.

In the first round, there were two sections: North and South. In the following rounds each section gradually eliminates teams in knock-out fashion until each has a winning finalist. At this point, the two winning finalists face each other in the combined final for the honour of the trophy.
