The 1991 South American Women's Football Championship (Campeonato Sudamericano de Fútbol Femenino 1991) was held in Maringá, Brazil between 28 April and 5 May 1991. It was the first staging of the South American Women's Football Championship and determined the CONMEBOL's single qualifier for the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Brazil won the tournament, that was played with only three teams: Brazil, Chile and Venezuela.[1] Adriana was the tournament's top scorer, with four goals.[2] Chile's Ada Cruz was elected as the best player.[3]

In 1988, the Venezuelan Football Federation (FVF) had expressed interest in hosting the tournament.[4]
