The 1891 Primera División was the first ever Argentine championship, making Argentina's the oldest football league outside the United Kingdom.

[3][4] The Hurlingham team was retired by the president of the club, John Ravenscroft, in solidarity with Alexander Watson Hutton (who had resigned as director of St. Andrew's School after they refused to include the practise of football,[5] so Alex Lamont did not call him to be part of the league).

They were declared joint champions, but played a playoff match to decide which team got to keep the medals, being St. Andrew's the winner.

The current Association has not included this title in their documents, except in its web page where only St. Andrew's is listed as champion.

[7] As the Association crowned both, St. Andrew's and Old Caledonians as champion, this match was held only to determine which team got to keep the medals.
