The Copa Ricardo Aldao but popularily called the Campeonato Rioplatense and Copa Río de La Plata, was a football club competition contested annually, albeit irregularly, between the national champions of Argentina and Uruguay. The cup is one of the many inter-South American club competitions that have been organised on the continent. The first competition was held in the 1913 season (although it wasn't played) and the last in 1955 (played in 1959). The Copa Ricardo Aldao is seen today as the first stepping stone into the creation Copa Libertadores.

Summary

Friendly matches were common between clubs from Argentina and Uruguay in the early 1900's due to the close proximity of the nations. Inevitably, a match to decide which national champion was the best formulated; the trophy of the competition was donated by Ricardo C. Aldao, the President of the Federation Argentina de Fútbol

Since then, the competition was play two-legged except the 1942 edition, when the second leg was not played and the trophy was awarded to Nacional, the winner of the first leg.

By 1947, interest in a continental championship was being kindled. The interest led to the creation of the Campeonato Sudamericano de Campeones played in 1948. This tournament brought together many national champions from South America in order to dispute which club was the best of the continent. As a result, the Copa Aldao was seen as a near-obsolete competition and it was not played again until 1959. One last attempt was made to revilitilize the competition in 1955 in a match between Nacional and River Plate
