Ballymena United were the defending champions after winning their 6th Irish Cup last season, defeating Larne 1–0 in the 1989 final.[2] However, this season they went out in the first round to Dungannon Swifts. Glentoran went on to win the cup for the fifth time in six seasons, and 15th time overall. They defeated Portadown 3–0 in the final.[3]
