Diving at the 1990 Commonwealth Games was the 14th appearance of Diving at the Commonwealth Games. Competition featured six diving events, held in Auckland, New Zealand, from 24 January to 3 February 1990.[1]
The events were held at the West Auckland Swimming Centre on Alderman Drive in Henderson.[2] The venue had been specifically built for the Games[3] but faced late issues relating to the 3,200 grandstand seating. It was however described as technologically advanced with a variable floor and movable bulkhead.[4]
Australia topped the medal table with three gold medals.[5][6]
