The Supercopa Libertadores was a seasonal association football competition that was established in 1988. It was usually contested between August and December. The Supercopa Sudamericana was opened to the past winners of Copa Libertadores; Vasco da Gama, winners of the Copa de Campeones tournament held in 1948, was later allowed to participate. Nearly every phase of the competition was contested over two legs, one at each participating club's stadium. Racing Club won the inaugural competition in 1988, defeating Cruzeiro 4–1 on points. [1]
