The 1991–92 season was the 68th year in Guria's history and third season in the Umaglesi Liga. Apart from the league season, the club also participated in the 1991–92 Georgian Cup.

Overview

Having retained most of the players from the previous year, Guria had an impressive start to the season. They had defeated each of their opponents at home by the winter break, aiming at the top title. However, the team slipped up as soon as the season resumed in the spring. Following four losses in the opening five matches, Guria dropped out of the top three spots. For the first time in the last four years, they did not win any silverware. Likewise, Guria were unsuccessful in the cup competition where they failed to reach even the round of 8. Although regarded as favourites of the tie against Mziuri, the team was knocked out under the away goals rule.[1]

Yet one player individually performed beyond expectations. Midfielder Otar Korgalidze finished the second successive season as the league topscorer. This time he amassed 40 goals in 35 appearances, setting the league record.[2]
