History and mode of competition
The Copa Montevideo took place at least five times from the first edition in 1953 to the event of this competition in 1971. It was held in the South American summer months of January and February. The individual playouts of the Copa were spread over the years 1953, 1954, 1969, 1970 and 1971. The tournament was played in league mode, so that each team played once against each participant. The first in the table won the Copa Montevideo. At least in the first three tournaments, the venue for all matches was the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo .
The international field of participants of the Copa Montevideo consisted of eight teams in the first two events in the 1950s. Only six clubs took part in the three competitions in 1969, 1970 and 1971. In addition to the two major Montevidean clubs Peñarol and Nacional , which dominate Uruguay and were represented in all five Copa draws, various internationally renowned clubs from Argentina , Brazil , Paraguay , Chile , Peru , Austria , Yugoslavia , Sweden , the CSSR and the USSR provided the participating teams. However, the tournament winner was recruited from the two Uruguayan teams in all five named draws. Nacional won in 1953, 1969, 1970, three times in total. Peñarol won in 1954 and 1971.
The tournament continued in the following years. Defensor won the title in 1976, 1979, 1982, 1987, 1991, 1994, 1995 and 1997. Nacional also won the trophy in 1978 and 1981.
