The 1990–91 season in Germany was largely defined by the reunification of the country, particularly for those teams in the East. This was the last season in which the East and West had separate league structures, and the final season of the NOFV-Oberliga (as the DDR-Oberliga was renamed) would decide which teams would qualify for the Bundesliga, 2. Bundesliga and the divisions below.

With the Berlin Wall having fallen, East German players had unprecedented freedom of movement, and like many clubs, Dynamo lost players, notably stars Ulf Kirsten and Matthias Sammer, to Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart represctively. However, they were able to attract a couple of players from West Germany, in Sergio Allievi and Peter Lux, while two players who had moved west, Matthias Döschner and Hans-Uwe Pilz, returned from Fortuna Köln mid-way through the season.

Dynamo Dresden finished second in the table, behind double winners Hansa Rostock, and therefore qualified for the Bundesliga. Torsten Gütschow's 20 goals made him the league's top scorer for the third consecutive year, and he was also named the last ever East German Footballer of the Year. As reigning champions, Dynamo entered the 1990–91 European Cup, where they reached the quarter-finals before being eliminated by eventual winners Red Star Belgrade. Dynamo's fans rioted during the second leg of this tie, resulting in the club beging banned from competing in the following year's UEFA Cup.

In November, Dynamo beat West German champions Bayern Munich to win the Deutschland Cup, a competition organised to celebrate German reunification.
