# Grand Prix 1990

Der Grand Prix 1990 war ein Snooker-Turnier der Saison 1990/91, das vom 8. bis 21. Oktober 1990 im Hexagon Theatre von Reading stattfand. Es war der siebte Grand Prix in der südostenglischen Stadt.
Nach zwei Turniersiegen in Folge schied Titelverteidiger Steve Davis diesmal schon in Runde 1 aus. Sein Bezwinger Nigel Bond schaffte es bis ins Finale, gegen Stephen Hendry hatte er aber keine Chance. Der Weltmeister und Weltranglistenerste gewann mit 10:5 und nach 1987 holte er sich seinen zweiten Grand-Prix-Titel.
