The 1991 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the 104th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1991 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.
Meath had beaten Dublin in the famous four-game saga, but Down stormed into an 11-point lead and Meath's rally was too little, too late.[1]
This was Down's fourth appearance in an All-Ireland final, and their fourth win from four.[2][3][4]
