nineteen hundred and eighty-one
Since Asker hasn't specified what version of English is required, I offer two common UK English versions:
twentieth of September, nineteen hundred and eighty-one
Less formally (but still UK-style):
twentieth of September, nineteen eighty-one
Note 1) If you include 'hundred' then 'and' is required before 'eighty-one'.
Note 2) The day number (usually) comes before the name of the month.

Note 3) - Added after seeing Mike's use of upper-case (Nineteen Eighty-One), in the UK the only word here requiring upper-case is September.
twentieth of September, nineteen hundred and eighty-one

September twentieth, nineteen hundred and eighty-one
you can make it as formal or as informal as you like:
write it in British English or American English or other forms of English that are officially used in a country
I don´t know the context, but with all the answers stated here I think you have a good idea of what your options are.
Another option could be instead of using a comma, to mention ´in the year of´
The ´and´ in nineteen hundred and eighty-one is ´British´ English, when left out it becomes ´American´ English.
Finally, the twentieth of September I haven´t been able to find on Google, I guess it´s more common to say September twentieth.....
Anyway, since I like numbers I just wanted to respond to this question.
Ah, and British or American, the comma after September twentieth, is very necessary.
