The 1989–90 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup was the 11th World Cup season in ski jumping.
Season began in Thunder Bay, Canada on 3 December 1989 and finished in Planica, Yugoslavia on 25 March 1990. The individual World Cup overall winner was Finnish jumper Ari-Pekka Nikkola and Nations Cup was taken by Team of Austria for the fifth time in total.
Due to lack of snow competition from Falun was replaced in Sollefteå; and from Bærum to Oslo on Friday (cancelled due to bad water) and once again on Saturday to Raufoss. Originally scheduled Sunday competition in Oslo didn't count for World Cup as porcelain inrun was used instead (warm weather). Coaches and athletes almost boycott the competition as they didnt agree with that FIS decision. Coaches were right as some of the jumpers didn't find their way to porcelain.
25 men's individual events on 19 different venues in 13 countries were held on three different continents (Europe, Asia and North America). Two competition were cancelled this season.
Peaks of the season were Ski Flying World Champ., 4HT, Bohemia and Swiss Tournament.
