1989–90 Cuban National Series

In the 29th season of the Cuban National Series, the postseason format was changed. The league directly matched its two division winners in a best-of-seven series for the league championship, while the two division runners-up played a best-of-five series for third place. A four-team round-robin tournament had previously been used, since the 1985–86 season. The 18 teams of the league, and the regular-season schedule of 48 games, remained unchanged.
