The 1981 Uber Cup was the ninth edition of the Uber Cup, the women's badminton team competition. The tournament took place in the 1980-81 badminton season. Japan won its fifth title after beating Indonesia in the final round in Tokyo.
This edition was the first and only time the tournament, including the qualification tournament was played in a best-of-9 format, similar to the Thomas Cup where two singles and two doubles were played on the first day, followed by three singles and two doubles on the second day.
