These are the official results of the Women's Javelin Throw event at the 1990 European Championships in Split, Yugoslavia, held at Stadion Poljud on 29 and 30 August 1990. All results were made with a rough surfaced javelin (old design).
<sup>â </sup>: Felicia à ¢ilea ranked initially 9th (58.80m), but was disqualified for infringement of IAAF doping rules.
<sup>â </sup>: Felicia à ¢ilea initially reached the final (60.96m), but was disqualified later for infringement of IAAF doping rules.
<sup>â¡</sup>: All three attempts from Päivi Alafrantti were initially voided. In the only measurable throw, the javelin landed flat. After a protest of the Finnish team officials and video inspection, the decision was reverted because it could be shown that the tip of the javelin struck the ground first, and Alafrantti was admitted to compete in the final.
According to an unofficial count, 19 athletes from 10 countries participated in the event.
