The 1991 European Amateur Team Championship took place 26 –30 June at Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro in the northwest of Madrid, Spain, in the district of Moncloa, 5 kilometres from the city center. It was the 17th men's golf European Amateur Team Championship.
Each team consisted of six players, playing two rounds of stroke-play over two days, counting the five best scores each day for each team.
Team England won the opening 36-hole stroke-play qualifying competition, with a 5-under-par score of 715, six strokes ahead of host nation Spain.
There was no official award for the lowest individual score, but individual leader was Liam White, England, with a 6-under-par score of 138, two strokes ahead of nearest competitors.
The eight best teams formed flight A, in knock-out match-play over the next three days. The teams were seeded based on their positions after the stroke play. The first placed team were drawn to play the quarter final against the eight placed team, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth and the fourth against the fifth. Teams were allowed to use six players during the team matches, selecting four of them in the two morning foursome games and five players in to the afternoon single games. Games all square at the 18th hole were declared halved, if the team match was already decided.
The seven teams placed 9–15 in the qualification stroke-play formed flight B and the four teams placed 16–19 formed flight C, to play similar knock-out play, to decide their final positions.
Team England won the gold medal, earning their eighth title, beating team Italy in the final 5–2.
The Netherlands, for the first time on the podium in the history of the championship, earned the bronze on third place, after beating Scotland 4–3 in the bronze match.
