This year there was no television coverage after ITV pulled out due to the championship having lower ratings than the other three tournaments they were showing. This also caused the previous sponsor Fidelity Unit Trusts to pull out with BCE stepping in for this year. With no TV coverage and a lack of sponsorship this was the last International until 1993.^[2]

Steve Davis retained the title by defeating Stephen Hendry 9–4 in the final. It was the first ranking final they faced each other.^[3]
