The 1891 Crescent Athletic Club football team was an American football team that represented the Crescent Athletic Club in the American Football Union (AFU) during the 1891 college football season. The team played its home games at Eastern Park in Brooklyn, compiled a 5â3 record (3â0 against AFU opponents), and won the AFU championship.
