History

edit
 
Jockey Club building in Buenos Aires, c. 1899

The Copa de Competencia Jockey Club was first awarded in 1907, being Alumni its first winner. Teams affiliated to the Argentine Football Association and Liga Rosarina de Football were allowed to enter this competition. Rosarian teams participated until the 1919 edition. From the 1921 edition, only teams from the cities of Buenos Aires and La Plata took part of the competition.[3]

After the final edition of the Tie Cup in 1919, the Copa de Competencia Jockey Club was played on four more occasions in 1921, 1925, 1931 and 1936. It was contested on a total of 17 occasions and the most successful teams were Alumni and San Isidro with three titles each.[4]

The trophy was donated by the Jockey Club, an exclusive social club created in 1882 by lawyer and senator Carlos Pellegrini[5] (who later would become President of Argentina) to gather the most important and prominent men of Argentina's high society.[6]
