The 1890 American Cup was the sixth edition of the soccer tournament organized by the American Football Association. The Fall River Olympics won their first title becoming the second Fall River team to do so after the Rovers had won the previous two editions.

First round

The Fall River Rovers and Pawtucket Free Wanderers match was protested because of a dispute regarding gate receipts. The AFA ordered the game replayed. The Rovers disagreed with the decision and elected to withdraw from the Association. Pawtucket therefore was placed in the next round.
