# 1990 Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships in Athletics

The 9th Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships were held in Havana, Cuba, between 6–8 July 1990.

## Medal summary

Medal winners are published by category: Junior A, Male, Junior A, Female, and Junior B. Complete results can be found on the World Junior Athletics History website.
There are some differences between the results in the different sources. The Rules for the Central American and Caribbean Track and Field Championships regulate : "Each country can enter a maximum of two (2) competitors per individual event with the exception of the 1/2 marathon in which three competitors per country may be allowed." Therefore, it is assumed that additional athletes from host country Cuba started out of competition, especially in the field events, and were not eligible for gaining championships medals.
