Established in 2011 and organized by CONMEBOL,[1] the Superclásico de las Américas is a successor of the Roca Cup, a similar competition held from 1914 to 1976.

The country that accumulates the most points after both legs will win the competition, followed by goal difference and a penalty shoot-out if necessary.

The format was changed in 2014 and now the game takes place as a one-off match in a neutral venue.

The 2022 edition of the match was scheduled to be played in June in Australia, but it was cancelled after AFA opted to participate instead in the CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions in England.
