The 1991-92 National Hurling League was the 61st season of the National Hurling League, the top league for inter-county hurling teams, since its establishment in 1925. The season began on 20 October 1991 and concluded on 10 May 1992.

The league saw a major restructuring of the usual four divisions of eight teams. Division 1 was split into 1A and 1B with each group consisting of six teams. Division 2 remained as a single eight-team group. Division 3 was also split into 3A and 3B with each group consisting of six teams

Offaly came into the season as defending champions of the 1990-91 season. Galway, Down, Laois and Offaly all entered Division 1 as part of the restructuring.

On 12 May 1991, Limerick won the title after a 0-14 to 0-13 win over Tipperary. It was their first league title ever.[1]

Laois were relegated from Division 1 after being defeated by Dublin in a relegation play-off.
