Copa Bernardo O'Higgins ({{langx|en|Bernardo O'Higgins Cup}}) was a national football tournament disputed between Brazil and Chile, from 1955 to 1966. The competition, played on a two-legged format, was similar to other tournaments played at the time, such as the Roca Cup between Argentina and Brazil.{{cite web|title=Copa Bernardo O'Higgins|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/ohiggins.html |access-date=25 June 2021|website=RSSSF| author= José Luis Pierrend }}
The cup's name was a tribute to Bernardo O'Higgins, a figure of great importance in Chile's independence,[https://www.bcn.cl/historiapolitica/resenas_parlamentarias/wiki/Bernardo_O%27Higgins_Riquelme Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme - Reseñas biográficas parlamentarias] at Biblioteca del Congreso de Chile[http://www.memoriachilena.gob.cl/602/w3-article-562.html Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme (1778-1842)] on Memoria Chilena and considered one of the liberators of South America during the Spanish occupation in the colonial period.[https://www.elhistoriador.com.ar/ohiggins-libertador-de-chile/ O’Higgins, libertador de Chile] on El Historiador
