The 1991 European Football Championship for women ( English : UEFA Women's Championship ) was the fourth game of the European continental championship in women's football and took place from July 10th to 14th in a pure knockout system in Denmark . All 18 registered national teams had to go through the qualification, because the host of the final tournament was only determined at short notice from among the four qualified teams after completion.
Defending champion Germany won the final against Norway 3-1 and became European champions again.
The four finalists and Sweden as the best quarterfinal loser in the qualification qualified for the first ever women's soccer world championship in China in 1991 .
