The 1991 European Women's Cricket Championship (Dutch: Europees Kampioenschap Dames Cricket 1991) was an international cricket tournament held in the Netherlands from 16 to 20 July 1991. It was the third edition of the Women's European Championship, and all matches at the tournament held One Day International (ODI) status.

Four teams participated, with the hosts, the Netherlands, joined by the three other European members of the International Women's Cricket Council (IWCC) – Denmark, England, and Ireland. A round-robin format was used, with the top two teams proceeding to the final. England was undefeated in the round-robin stage and beat Denmark by 179 runs in the final, winning the championship for the third time in a row. The tournament was marked by low scoring, with the seven matches yielding only two individual half-centuries and one team score over 200.Women's European Championship 1991 – CricketArchive.
