1960 Copa de Campeones de América finals

The final of the first Copa de Campeones de América (now the Copa Libertadores) was played in two matches between Peñarol of Uruguay and Olimpia of Paraguay in June 1960. The teams competed over two legs, with 2 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. The team with the most points after the two games would be crowned champion; if the teams were tied on points, goal difference would decide, and if still tied, a playoff would be held at a neutral venue.

Peñarol won the title on points, 3–1, becoming the first champions of South America’s premier club tournament.

Juan Vicente Lezcano became the first player sent off in a final, in the first leg. Peñarol are nicknamed the Manyas.
