The Wales national rugby union team toured Australia in June and July 1991. They played six matches, culminating with a test against the Australia national team (the Wallabies). They won their opening match against Western Australia, as well as the games against the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland Country, but lost the tour matches against Queensland and New South Wales before a 63–6 loss to the Wallabies in the test. Prop Mark Davis was the only Wales player to make his test debut on the tour.
