1989–90 British Basketball League season

The 1990–1991 BBL season was the third season of the British Basketball League (known as the Carlsberg League for sponsorship reasons) since its establishment in 1987. The season featured a total of eight teams, playing 28 games each. Due to the low number of teams, the post-season Play-offs featured only the top four teams from the regular season instead of the usual top eight finishers.

Kingston claimed the Division One title and Play-off crown,[1] as well as the NatWest League Trophy.
