The Campeonato Sudamericano took place in Argentina from May 27 to June 12, 1910 . This competition was held in honor of the 100th anniversary of the May Revolution in the Spanish viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata on May 25, 1810 and is therefore often referred to in retrospect as the Copa Centenario Revolución de Mayo . It was the first international tournament in South America in which more than two football nations participated. Until then, there were only competitions between the national soccer teams of Uruguay and Argentina , such as the Copa Newton , the Copa Lipton and the Gran Premio de Honor Argentino .
Since three of the later four founding members of CONMEBOL took part in this tournament , it can be regarded as the forerunner of the Campeonato Sudamericano competition of the same name, today's Copa América . Often it was even upgraded to the first Copa America afterwards. However, no contemporary source, CONMEBOL or the participating associations refer to it as the first South American championship in history. Argentina also has not yet claimed the title of South American champion from 1910. Instead, the Campeonato Sudamericano 1916 , which is clearly based on its unofficial predecessor and held on the occasion of the complete independence of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata (now Argentina) on July 9, 1816, applies was, but also led to the founding of CONMEBOL, as the first official tournament.
The tournament was played in league mode. The three games were played in Buenos Aires in three different stadiums, in the Cancha de Gimnasia y Esgrima , in the Cancha de Belgrano and in the Colegiales en Palermo . At that time, all three stadiums held around 8,000 to 10,000 spectators. The tournament winner was host Argentina .

Remarks
Argentina lived up to its role as favorites. The Argentines dominated football in South America during those years. This can also be seen in the international match record of the Argentines against their big rivals Uruguay. Until the clear 4: 1 success in this tournament, they had won eight times in a duel with the "Urus" in 13 comparisons and only lost twice with three draws. Again, Uruguay had nothing to gain.
Uruguay's loss to Argentina came as no surprise at the time. The Argentines were clearly the stronger team at the time. It was not until the middle of the decade that the “Urus” drew level with their southern neighbors. In particular at the Copa America and the other major tournaments, they were even more successful until the 1930s.
For Chile , its international history began around this tournament. A 3-1 defeat against Argentina two days before the start of the tournament was the Chileans' first international match. They had absolutely no chance against their competition, even if they could annoy the Argentines with their 1-0 opening goal by Frank Simmons.
