The 1991 UEFA Women's Championship took place in Denmark. It was won by Germany for the second time and the first since the reunification in 1990 in a final against Norway in a repeat of the previous edition's final.[1] Eighteen teams entered qualifying, which was enough to make the competition the first fully official one, so the name was changed to the UEFA Women's Championship.[2]

The tournament served as the European qualifying round for the FIFA Women's World Cup 1991.
