Three countries took part: Canada, Finland, and the United States. The tournament was organized by the World Ringette Council, the precursor to the International Ringette Federation (IRF). The event was held in the Canadian city of Gloucester, Ontario from January 29 to February 3, 1990, with eight competing teams at Earl Armstrong Arena.
Three countries participated: Canada, Finland and United States. A total of 8 teams entered the competition.[1][2] The teams from Canada included Team Alberta, Team Saskatchewan, Team Manitoba, Team Ontario, Team Quebec, and Team Gloucester (the team from the 1990 WRC's host city).
Finland finished seventh and the United States eighth while Canadian teams monopolized the podium.[3] Team Alberta, which consisted of ringette players from the province's "Calgary Debs",[citation needed] won the first world ringette title in international competition and the WRC's new Sam Jacks Trophy after defeating Team Ontario, 6 – 5 in the final.[4]
