The qualifying process for the 1990 Uber Cup took place from 18 to 25 February 1990 to decide the final teams which will play in the final tournament.

Qualification process

The qualification process was divided into two regions, the Asian Zone and the European Zone. Seeded teams received a bye into the second round while unseeded teams competed in the first round for a place in the second round. The first two rounds were played in a round-robin format. Teams in the second round competed for a place in the knockout stages. Semi-final winners in each zone were guaranteed qualification for the final tournament to be held in Nagoya and Tokyo while the remaining teams competed in a third place playoff match for a place in the final tournament.[1]

China qualified for the final tournament as defending champions while Japan qualified as hosts.[1]
