As in the previous year, 47 teams from the 10 member associations of CONMEBOL , including defending champion CA Lanús, took part.

As in the previous year, there were two rounds before the round of 16. In the first round, the eight countries (with the exception of Argentina and Brazil) started with their four teams each. The participants from Argentina and Brazil only joined in the second round, with the teams from both countries playing against each other. Defending champion CA Lanús received a bye for the round of 16. As usual, the competition was held from the first round to the final in a pure knockout system with a return game. In the event of a tie for points and goals , the away goal rule applied . If the number of goals scored away from home was the same, a penalty shoot-out followed immediately after the second leg . The away goals rule did not apply in the final. If the goal difference was the same after the first and second leg, there was extra time and only then, if necessary, a penalty shoot-out.

1 round

Participants were four teams each from eight countries in South America, with the exception of the teams from Argentina and Brazil. The first legs took place between August 19 and 21, the second legs between August 26 and 28, 2014.
