The 1990 Commonwealth Games were held in Auckland, New Zealand. Their original dates are 3-13 February

It was the 14th Commonwealth Games, and part of New Zealand's 1990 sesquicentennial celebrations.

Particpants competed in ten sports: athletics, aquatics, badminton, boxing, cycling, gymnastics, judo, lawn bowls, shooting and weightlifting.

This is the full table of the medal count of the 1990 Commonwealth Games. These rankings sort by the number of gold medals earned by a country. The number of silvers is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically. This follows the system used by the IOC, IAAF and BBC.
