Central American and Caribbean Games 1990

The 16th Central American and Caribbean Games took place from November 20 to December 4, 1990 in the Mexican capital, Mexico City .

Initially, Cartagena in Colombia was planned as the venue, but the event had to be withdrawn for financial reasons. Guatemala City offered itself as a replacement, but finally also withdrew in 1989, so that Mexico City could only step in as a replacement organizer for a short time.

As in the past so often , the most successful nation was Cuba , whose athletes won almost half of all decisions with 180 gold medals in a total of 361 competitions. Mexico took second place in the medal table with 114 gold medals, ahead of Puerto Rico with 21 gold medals.
