The Campeonato Sudamericano of 1919 was the third game of the South American continental football championship and took place from May 11th to 29th in Brazil. The tournament was originally supposed to take place in 1918, but was postponed due to the Spanish flu .

Half of the costs for the three visiting teams for the ship journey were borne by Brazil.

All games took place in Rio de Janeiro at the Estádio Laranjeiras , the stadium of Fluminense FC . Since there was no winner of this Copa America after the last day of the match, the two teams from Brazil and Uruguay with the same number of points played a decider to win the tournament. Arthur Friedenreich scored the winning goal from Neco and established himself as the first soccer star in his country and became the top scorer of the tournament together with the passer. The competition was overshadowed by the tragic death of Uruguayan substitute goalkeeper Roberto Chery .

The players of the visiting teams had insulted the Brazilians strolling by several times from the balconies of their hotels. B. that they would just walk around in rags. This led to mutual resentment, so that the games became known as the first in which police officers ensured safety on the sidelines.
