River Plate had earned to play the final after winning the 1914 Copa de Competencia Jockey Club (which was also its first official title in the top division of Argentine football) after beating Newell's Old Boys 4–0 in the final played at Estadio Racing Club in Avellaneda.[4]

On the other side, Club Nacional de Football had won the Uruguayan Copa de Competencia that allowed them to play the final v River Plate. Nevertheless, the club alleged some difficults to attend the competition so the AUF decided to invite Bristol Football Club to represent Uruguay in the final.

Bristol added some international players for the final, they were, Martín Aphesteguy, Jorge Pacheco and Pedro Zuazú, all of them called up for

Exeter City.[5]

During the match, both teams had chances to score, but River Plate struck first when a defective defense by Uruguayan Manuel Marenco trying to intercept a pass from Rodolfo Fraga, allowed forward Luis Gianetto to score the only goal. In the second half, the referee annulled a goal to River Plate (offside). River Plate won its first international Cup.[6]
