The 1990 Umaglesi Liga was the first and inaugural season of top-tier football in Georgia. It began on 30 March and ended on 12 November 1990. Georgia was still a part of the Soviet Union, but the Georgian clubs were withdrawn from the Soviet league system and formed the Georgian league system. Iberia Tbilisi won the championship.

The league was formed by 18 clubs based on their performance the previous year across four tiers:

• Soviet Top League: Iberia, Guria;
• Soviet First League: Torpedo, Batumi and Tskhumi (the latter was created after Dinamo Sokhumi split into two clubs);
• Soviet Second League: Savanardo, Kolkheti Poti, Kolkheti Khobi, Gorda, Dila, Mertskhali, Shevardeni;
• Georgian Championship: Samgurali, Odishi, Amirani, Mziuri, Iveria, Liakhvi.
