The 1990 Snooker World Cup was a team snooker tournament played at the Bournemouth International Centre. British Car Rental sponsored the tournament, which was the last in the Snooker World Cup series until it was revived in a new format in 1996. Defending champions England with Steve Davis, Jimmy White and John Parrott lost their first round match to the Republic of Ireland, who then lost to Northern Ireland in the semi-finals. The Northern Ireland team of captain Dennis Taylor, Alex Higgins and Tommy Murphy experienced infighting between Higgins and Taylor fighting over the captaincy that erupted into a number of arguments, culminating in Higgins infamously threatening to have Taylor shot; this incident, along with a number of offences at the World Championship a month later, resulted in Higgins being banned from the game for the rest of 1990 and all of 1991. They went on to lose 5–9 in the final to the Canada team of Cliff Thorburn, Bob Chaperon and Alain Robidoux. Robidoux won the last frame with a 124 break, the highest of the championship.
