1891 in Argentine football
- 1891 in Argentine football
1891 in Argentine football saw the first ever Argentine championship which was run by the Association Argentine Football (AAF) making Argentina's the oldest football league outside mainland Britain [ [http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,1786986,00.html Observer article] ] .
The championship took the format of a league of 5 teams, with each team playing the other twice. Many of the results of individual games have been lost, hence the lack of goals for and against in the table below. Eventually two teams finished top, with 13 points, they were declared joint champions, but played a playoff match to decide which team got to keep the medals.
The AAF tournament is not recognised as official by the Argentine Football Association.
