The tournament consists of 15 teams, with the winner going on to represent Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

This was Dunderry's return to the grade after claiming the 1990 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title.

Navan O'Mahonys were the defending champions after they defeated Summerhill after a replay in the previous years final, however their quest for five titles in a row was ended by Walterstown at the semi-final stage.

Gaeil Colmcille claimed their 1st S.F.C. title (since being formed from the Kilmainham, Drumnbaragh and Kells Harps clubs in 1966) when beating Walterstown 1–12 to 1-6 after a replay in the final at Pairc Tailteann on 3 November 1991. Terry Ferguson raised the Keegan Cup for Gaeil Colmcille while Eugene McGillick claimed the 'Man of the Match' award.
