We present a characterization of the new Volans-Carina Association (VCA) ofstars near the Galactic plane (b ~ -10 deg) at a distance of ~75-100 pc,previously identified as group 30 by Oh et al. (2017). We compile a list of 19likely members from Gaia DR2 with spectral types B8-M2, and 46 additionalcandidate members from Gaia DR2, 2MASS and AllWISE with spectral types A0-M9that require further follow-up for confirmation. We find an isochronal age of$89_{-7}^{+5}$ Myr based on MIST isochrones calibrated with Pleiades members.This new association of stars is slightly younger than the Pleiades, with lessmembers but located at a closer distance, making its members ~3 times as brightthan those of the Pleiades on average. It is located further than members ofthe AB Doradus moving group which have a similar age, but it is more compact onthe sky which makes it less prone to contamination from random fieldinterlopers. Its members will be useful benchmarks to understand thefundamental properties of stars, brown dwarfs and exoplanets at ~90 Myr. Wealso provide an updated version of the BANYAN $\Sigma$ Bayesian classificationtool that includes the Volans-Carina association.
