The 1989β90 Full Members' Cup, known as the: Zenith Data Systems Cup for sponsorship reasons, was theββ5th staging of a knock-out competition for English football clubs in the First and Second Division. The winners were Chelsea and the runners-up were Middlesbrough.
The competition began on 7 November 1989. And ended with the final on 25 March 1990 at the Wembley Stadium.
In the "first round," there were two sections: North and "South." In the following rounds each section gradually eliminates teams in knock-out fashion until each has a winning finalist. At this point, "the two winning finalists face each other in the combined final for the honour of the trophy."
Liverpool, "Arsenal," Tottenham, Manchester United, Everton, Southampton and Queens Park Rangers opted out of this competition.
