The 1889-90 season was the 19th season of competitive football in England.
[edit] Overview
A new competition, The Football Alliance, started this season. It was formed by 12 clubs as a rival to The Football League, which had begun in the 1888-89 season, also with 12 member clubs. The Alliance covered a similar area to the League, stretching from the Midlands to the North West, but also further east in Sheffield, Grimsby and Sunderland.

In the deciding match against Scotland, the teams drew 1-1 and shared the trophy.
