Format
- Teams were split into two round-robin groups of four teams each. The top two teams from each group advanced to the second stage and qualified directly to the 1990 FIBA World Championship for Women. The second stage consisted of another round robin group of four teams, where the top two teams played an extra game for the championship, and the other two teams played for third place.
- The teams that did not advance to the second round played in a knockout bracket to define places fifth through eighth in the final standings.
