The 1891 World Allround Speed Skating Championships took place at 6 and 7 January at the ice rink Museumplein in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It's an unofficial championship because there was no International Skating Union (ISU is founded in 1892)
Four distances were skated at the World Championship, the ½ mile (850 meter), the 1 mile (1609 meter), the 2 miles (3219 meter) and the 5 miles (8047 meter). One became champion if one won three of the four distances.
The American Joe Donoghue won all the four distances and became the first World allround champion.
