This was the last USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships organized by The Athletics Congress. The following year's Olympic Trials served as the National Championships during the last year of TAC's existence. The competition acted as a way of selecting the United States team for the 1991 World Championships in Athletics in Tokyo, Japan August 23 to September 1 later that year.
