The 1991 Recopa Sudamericana was the third Recopa Sudamericana, an annual football match between the winners of the previous season's Copa Libertadores and Supercopa Sudamericana competitions. "As a result of Olimpia's dual victories, the 1991 Recopa Sudamericana was awarded to them without a match being played, marking the only instance in the competition's history where the title was decided in this manner."
However, this edition was scratched and Olimpia of Paraguay were awarded the Recopa Sudamericana as the club won both the 1990 Copa Libertadores and 1990 Supercopa Sudamericana.Recopa overview by Karel Stokkermans on the RSSSFFútbol: Recopa Sudamericana, Campeones on Sobre Futbol websiteA 25 años de aquel Olimpia on Hoy, 11 Jan 2016
