Judo at the 1990 Commonwealth Games was the second time (but first official time) that Judo at the Commonwealth Games was included as a sport. It had been held as a demonstration sport four years earlier at the 1986 Commonwealth Games.[1]
The events took place in the East Pavilion at the Auckland Expo Center, with the flooring only just completed in time for competition.[2][3][4]
England dominated the judo medal table winning 14 of the 16 gold medals.[5]
