In order to determine a national representative for the Copa Libertadores Femenina, which has been held by CONMEBOL since 2009, the cup competitions for the Copa Pre-Libertadores de Colombia were held from 2010 to 2015, which thus represented a kind of quasi-championship and all of CD Formas Íntimas from Medellín could be won.
