The **[1990](/source/1990_PBA_season) [Philippine Basketball Association](/source/Philippine_Basketball_Association) (PBA) First Conference** was the opening conference of the [1990 PBA season](/source/1990_PBA_season). It started on February 18 and ended on May 15, 1990. The tournament allows one-import each per team.

## Format

The following format will be observed for the duration of the conference:

- The teams were divided into 2 groups.

Group A:

1. [Formula Shell Zoom Masters](/source/Shell_Turbo_Chargers)
1. [Pepsi Hotshots](/source/Pepsi_Philippines)
1. [Presto Tivolis](/source/Great_Taste_Coffee_Makers)
1. [San Miguel Beermen](/source/San_Miguel_Beermen)

Group B:

1. [Añejo Rum 65ers](/source/Barangay_Ginebra_San_Miguel)
1. [Purefoods Hotdogs](/source/Magnolia_Hotshots)
1. [Pop Cola Sizzlers](/source/Pop_Cola_Panthers)

- Teams in a group will play against each other twice and against teams in the other group once; 10 games per team; Teams are then seeded by basis on win–loss records. Ties are broken among point differentials of the tied teams. Standings will be determined in one league table; teams do not qualify by basis of groupings.[1]
- The top five teams after the eliminations will advance to the semifinals.
- Semifinals will be two round robin affairs with the remaining teams. Results from the elimination round will be carried over. A playoff incentive for a finals berth will be given to the team that will win five of their eight semifinal games.
- The top two teams (or the top team and the winner of the playoff incentive) will face each other in a best-of-seven championship series. The next two teams will qualify for a best-of-five playoff for third place.
