The 1991 Campeonato de Fútbol Femenino was the 1st season in top-flight women's football in Argentina. The season began on October 27 and ended on December 15.[1]

The competition was contested by eight clubs and the tournament took a league format with each team playing the others once. River Plate became the inaugural champions.[1] [2]

In previous years, unofficial tournaments unrelated to AFA had been held, organized mainly by a woman named Nils Altuna, and most of the players who competed in this tournament came from there. Yupanqui arrived as champions and were considered one of the most powerful teams of the moment.[3] [4]
