The 1990 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 24 to March 3, 1990, at the Ottawa Civic Centre in Ottawa, Ontario.[2] The total attendance for the week was 29,042.[1]

Team Ontario, who was skipped by Alison Goring won the event on home soil as they beat Nova Scotia in the final 7–5. Ontario advanced to the final after defeating two-time champion Heather Houston and Team Canada 8–3 in the semifinal. This was the third time that Ontario had won the event and the fourth time in the last five years that a rink from Ontario had won. The Goring rink would go onto represent Canada in the 1990 World Women's Curling Championship held in Västerås, Sweden where they lost in the semifinal to eventual champion Norway.

New Brunswick's 11–0 victory over Alberta in Draw 5 was the sixth shutout record in tournament history and the first time ever where there were shutouts recorded in back-to-back tournaments. Canada's 6–4 victory over Quebec was the fourth game in tournament history in which a game went into a second extra end with the others occurring in 1981, 1982 and 1989.[3]
