The South American University Games (Spanish: Juegos Universitarios Sudamericanos, Portuguese: Jogos Universitários Sul-Americanos) is multi-sport event between student athletes from South American countries. It is organised by the Confederación Sudamericana Universitaria de Deportes (COSUD, South American Confederation of University Sport) and was first held in 2004 to provide additional competition for South Americans athletes before the global Universiade meeting.
