The 1991 Kumuls tour was a rugby league tour by the Papua New Guinea team which took place from October to November 1991. It was the team's third tour to the Northern Hemisphere, and included nine games played in Great Britain and France. The team played one Test match each against the Great Britain and France national teams, which counted towards the 1989–1992 World Cup.
Touring squad An initial 24-man squad was selected for the tour.
Skerry Palanga was the team's head coach during the tour, with Tau Peruka, Rod Pearce and Joe Keviame appointed as tour managers.
Two additional players (Matmillo and Numapo) joined the tour in France, while three of the players selected (Moi, Sinemau and Uradok) returned home after the British leg.
