The 1902 Copa Pergamino, also mentioned as Concurs Pergamí, was a football competition held in Barcelona between September and November 1902. Its promoter was the cartoonist and calligrapher Eugeni Bargés i Prat, who gave a polychrome parchment of his creation as a gift to be contested in the events of the Festes de la Mercè.[1][2]

The competition, which was open only to those teams founded during the 1901–1902 season that had not participated in the Copa Macaya,[3] was contested by teams: Irish FC, Iberia SC, FC Internacional, Catalonia FC, and Club Catalunya de Foot-ball, according to the names of the time. FC Internacional, however, withdrew in the middle of the contest after a controversy in its match against the Irish.[2] Iberia was proclaimed champion, after winning by the minimum of the tiebreaker, also against the Irish.[3]

Despite being intended for modest clubs, the organizing committee of the contest was made up of members of the main entities of the city:

  • President: Andreu Camps Sala, from the Irish FC
  • Secretary: Sebastian Casanellas, from the Spanish Club
  • Vocals: Pere Cabot, Luis de Ossó, and Josep Vidal, all three from FC Barcelona.[4][5]
