The Recopa Sudamericana (also known as Recopa VISA Sudamericana) (English: "South American Super Cup", Portuguese: "Recopa Sul-Americana") is at stake in an annual football series (2 legs) between the reigning champions of the Copa Libertadores de América and Copa Sudamericana. It is the South American equivalent to UEFA's European Super Cup.

Since the competition takes place in August, it's disputed between the champions of the previous year's forementioned competitions. Because of this, some count the year of the championship by the qualification year rather than that of the competition itself. Thus, CONMEBOL states that Nacional from Uruguay won the first Recopa of 1989, whereas the RSSSF refers to that championship as Recopa 1988.

History

The tournament has been played since 1989. From 1989 to 1998, the match was played between the reigning champions of Copa Libertadores de America and the defunct Supercopa Sudamericana, which was last disputed in 1997. The 1990 edition was played in Miami, USA. The 1991 edition was not played because Olimpia won both Copa Libertadores and Supercopa Sudamericana.

From 1992 to 1997, the competition was played in Japan. The 1993 edition was played also as part of the Campeonato Brasileiro, between Cruzeiro and São Paulo, due to schedule congestion. The 1994 edition was played between São Paulo and Copa CONMEBOL reigning champion Botafogo, because São Paulo had won both Copa Libertadores and Supercopa. The 1998 edition matches were only played in 1999, also as part of Copa Mercosur, between Cruzeiro and River Plate.

The competition was not played from 1999 to 2002. The 2003 edition was played in Los Angeles, USA, between the reigning champions of Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana. The 2004 edition was played in Fort Lauderdale, USA. The 2005 edition was again played on a home-and-away basis.
