The '''1990 FIBA World Championship''' was the 11th [[FIBA World Championship]], the international [[basketball]] world championship for men's national teams. It was hosted by [[Argentina]] from 8 to 19 August 1990. The final phase of the competition was held at the [[Luna Park, Buenos Aires]].<ref name="XI World Cup (Buenos Aires 1990)">{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20090626143447/http://www.linguasport.com/baloncesto/internacional/mundial/1990_BUENOSAIRES.htm XI World Cup (Buenos Aires 1990)]}}</ref>

Yugoslavia emerged as the tournament winner. This was the last World Championship in which the country participated before  its [[dissolution of Yugoslavia|dissolution]]. Likewise, the [[Soviet Union]] participated in its final tournament before its [[dissolution of the Soviet Union|dissolution]].

This was the first ever [[FIBA World Championship]] (now called [[FIBA Basketball World Cup]]) tournament, in which non-American current [[NBA]] players that had also already played in an official regular season NBA game could participate.

The mascot was a ñandu named <nowiki>''Ñandy''</nowiki>
