The Copa Libertadores 2019 , officially also Copa Conmebol Libertadores 2019 , was the 60th edition of the most important South American football competition for club teams. The competition was organized by the South American football association CONMEBOL . A total of 47 teams took part in the 2019 season, including defending champion River Plate from Argentina and the winner of the Copa Sudamericana 2018 Athletico Paranaense from Brazil.
