The Copa CONMEBOL ({{langx|en|CONMEBOL Cup}}) was an annual football cup competition organized by CONMEBOL between 1992 and 1999 for South American football clubs.[https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/torre-sac-best.html RSSSF SOUTH AMERICAN COMPETITIONS] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100201210855/http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/torre-sac-best.html |date=2010-02-01 }}- RSSSF Retrieved January 9, 2014. During its time of existence, it was a very prestigious South American club football contest, similar to the UEFA Cup. Clubs qualified for the competition based on their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Teams that were not able to qualify for the Copa Libertadores would play in this tournament. The tournament was played as a knockout cup. The tournament ended in 1999, following the expansion of the Copa Libertadores to 32 teams.

The Copa Mercosur and Copa Merconorte -which both started in 1998- replaced the Copa CONMEBOL, and the merger of those 3 cups would later transformed in the current Copa Sudamericana.[http://conmebol.com/virtual/conmebol.html Copa Conmebol at the official page of Conmebol.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130718061719/http://conmebol.com/virtual/conmebol.html |date=2013-07-18 }} CONMEBOL Retrieved May 18, 2010.[https://www.rsssf.org/sacups/conmebol.html CONMEBOL Cup / UEFA Cup] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151031102621/http://www.rsssf.com/sacups/conmebol.html |date=2015-10-31 }} RSSSF Retrieved May 18, 2010.[http://www.infofutbolonline.com/torneos/copa_conmebol.htm Información sobre la Copa Conmebol] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090124144823/http://infofutbolonline.com/torneos/copa_conmebol.htm |date=2009-01-24 }} infofutbolonline.com Retrieved May 18, 2010[https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/torre-sac-best.html THE BEST CLUB OF SOUTH AMERICA RSSSF] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100201210855/http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/torre-sac-best.html |date=2010-02-01 }} Retrieved January 9, 2014[http://globoesporte.globo.com/ESP/Noticia/Futebol/Santos/0,,MUL210981-4404,00.html Globo Esporte] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090512175348/http://globoesporte.globo.com/ESP/Noticia/Futebol/Santos/0,,MUL210981-4404,00.html |date=2009-05-12 }} Retrieved December 10, 2007[http://esportes.terra.com.br/sao-paulo/em-94-expressinho-salvou-temporada-com-precursora-da-sul-americana,bd60c563e456b310VgnCLD2000000ec6eb0aRCRD.html Terra Brazil] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130930175038/http://esportes.terra.com.br/sao-paulo/em-94-expressinho-salvou-temporada-com-precursora-da-sul-americana,bd60c563e456b310VgnCLD2000000ec6eb0aRCRD.html |date=2013-09-30 }}- Retrieved December 5, 2012[http://www.futbolsantander.com/es/actualidad/noticias/?noticia=625 Santander Fútbol] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021065404/http://www.futbolsantander.com/es/actualidad/noticias/?noticia=625 |date=2013-10-21 }}- Retrieved July 16, 2012

Format

=Qualification=

Each national association was assigned a number of entries determined by CONMEBOL which changed slightly from one edition to another. The best teams from the previous season that did not qualify for the Copa Libertadores through their league qualified for the Copa CONMEBOL. The tournament itself was played in two-legged knockout stages. The champion of the Copa CONMEBOL disputed the Recopa Sudamericana, the Copa de Oro and the Copa Master de CONMEBOL, albeit irregularly.

=Tournament=

The tournament started in the first stage in which 16 clubs were paired in a series of two-legged knockout ties in the round of 16, the first of four stages that worked on a single elimination phase knockout system that culminated in the finals. During each stage of the tournament, ties were decided on points, followed by goal difference, away goals, then a penalty shootout after full-time of the second leg, if necessary.
