It was the first Copa Aldao final contested by Boca Juniors as champion of Primera División, while Nacional played its third final having been winner of the 2nd. edition played in 1916. 1919 was one of the most successful seasons in the history of Boca Juniors so the club won the Copa de Competencia Jockey Club, Copa Ibarguren, and international Tie Cup (won to Nacional). Nevertheless, this edition of Copa Aldao would be the only final lost by Boca Juniors in the season.

On 15 minutes, Héctor Scarone headed to score the first goal. Only five minutes later, Ángel Romano scored another goal for Nacional, and Pascual Somma scored the third goal on 61 minutes.

With this win over Boca Juniors, Uruguayan side Nacional achieved its second Copa Aldao trophy.
