The '''1990–91 Asia Cup''' was the fourth [[Asia Cup]] tournament, and was held in [[India]] between 25 December 1990, and 4 January 1991. Three teams took part in the tournament: [[India national cricket team|India]], [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] and Asian leading associate member [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]]. [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] had pulled out of the tournament due to strained political relations with [[India]].

The 1990–91 Asia Cup was a [[round-robin tournament]] where each team played the other once, and the top two teams qualifying for a place in the final. India and Sri Lanka qualified for the final in which India beat Sri Lanka by 7 wickets to win its second consecutive (and third in total) Asia Cup.
