The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1991 were held in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria between 22 January and 3 February, 1991.
Sunshine often hit the snow of Saalbach-Hinterglemm during the competitions, which are remembered as some of the sunniest ever. The competitions also saw the international breakthroughs for skiers who would score major successes throughout the 1990s, like Austria's Stephan Eberharter. and Sweden's Pernilla Wiberg.
The United States Ski Team arrived late, after two races had been completed. Due to the Gulf War and associated security concerns, the team had withdrawn from World Cup competitions the previous week and returned home to North America.
The World Championships returned to Saalbach 34 years later in 2025.
