(1 title each)The Copa de Oro (English: Gold Cup, Portuguese: Copa Ouro), or Copa de Oro Nicolás Leoz, was a football club competition contested annually by the winners of the Copa Libertadores de América, the Supercopa Sudamericana, the Copa CONMEBOL, and the Supercopa Masters (CONMEBOL Masters in the 1996 edition). The cup is one of the many inter-South American club competitions that have been organised by CONMEBOL. The first competition was held in the 1993 season, and the last in 1996. Boca Juniors, Cruzeiro and Flamengo were the only winners of the tournament with one title each.[1][2][3] Brazil became the most successful nation of the competition with two victories.

History
The 1993 edition was contested by Atlético Mineiro (winners of the 1992 Copa CONMEBOL), Boca Juniors (winners of the 1992 Supercopa Masters), Cruzeiro (winners of the 1992 Supercopa Sudamericana) and São Paulo (winners of the 1992 Copa Libertadores). In the semifinals, Boca Juniors defeated Telê Santana's São Paulo in the mythical La Bombonera 1-0; the Paulistas' golden generation would return the dosage on the return leg and the series went into extra-time. Tied 1-1 on aggregate, Sergio Daniel Martínez made history as he scored the first ever golden goal in a South American competition. In the final, Boca Juniors managed to hold Atletico Mineiro to a 0-0 tie in the Mineirão and win 1-0 in Buenos Aires, with the goal coming from Carlos MacAllister, to become the first ever winners of the competition.[1] In 1994, the tournament was not played because of the scandal last year.
In 1995, Cruzeiro faced São Paulo; in the first leg in Belo Horizonte, São Paulo managed to win 0-1 before the game was suspended at the 47th minute due to Cruzeiro having four players sent off in the first half (they had used all the substitutions) and having one injured player leaving just six in the field for la Reposa; in accordance with the regulations, the minimum number of players per team is seven. However, Cruzeiro managed to come back from and win 0-1 in the Morumbi to eventually win the trophy on penalties. Due to scheduling conflicts, this season was played as part of the Supercopa Sudamericana, specifically the quarterfinal stage.[2] The last edition was played entirely in the city of Manaus. In the semifinals, Flamengo defeated Rosario Central 2-1 and Sao Paulo 3-1 and become champions of the competition.[3]

The champions of the two "major" competitions, namely Argentine clubs Vélez Sársfield (winner of the 1994 Copa Libertadores) and Club Atlético Independiente (winner of the 1994 Supercopa Sudamericana), decided not to participate in the 1995 edition of the Copa de Oro, and instead disputed the Recopa Sudamericana in a single match carried out in Tokyo, Japan.
