1989 World Masters Athletics Championships is the eighth in a series of World Masters Athletics Outdoor Championships that took place from 27 July to 6 August 1989 in Eugene, Oregon, known as the "Track Capital of the World" and as TrackTown USA. Athletes from the Soviet Union participated for the first time in this series.

TrackTown USA is a non-governmental, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Eugene, Oregon, United States. The long history of the sport of track running in Eugene, particularly at University of Oregon's Hayward Field, earned the city its nickname as the "Track Capital of the World" and as "TrackTown USA." So the term "TrackTown USA" may refer to the nonprofit organization, Hayward Field, the Eugene-Springfield region, or the entire state of Oregon.
