Overview

Sociedad Sportiva Argentina, venue of the final

The cup was contested by nine teams, with five playing in the Argentine Primera División, two from Rosarian League and two playing in Uruguayan league. Flores could not register in the tournament while Estudiantes (BA) declined to participate.[2]

In the first round, Alumni achieved a large victory over arch-rival Belgrano A.C. (6–1) at Quilmes stadium while Rosario A.C. had thrashed Rosario Central 5–0 in Plaza Jewell. In semifinals, Alumni defeated Club Nacional de Football (1–0 at Parque Central) while Rosario A.C. beat Quilmes 2–0 in Plaza Jewell.[3]

Although Rosario A.C. did not win the Cup, the club was in the road to consolidate not only as the main team in its city of origin but one of the strongest teams in Argentina, with four consecutive international finals played.[4] Nevertheless, the club would abandon the practise of football in the 1910s, focusing on rugby union and field hockey.
