1937 South American Championship
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox international football competition
The fourteenth edition of the South American Championship of football was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 27 December 1936 to 1 February 1937.
The participating countries were Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay thus making this the first edition in which more than five teams took part of the event.
Bolivia, and Colombia (a new CONMEBOL member) withdrew from the tournament.
Because of the summer heat, most of the matches were played at night, with Estadio Gasómetro being one of the few stadiums in Argentina with artificial lighting at the time, while other games were played during daytime at Estadio Alvear y Tagle.<ref name=a80>Copa América: a 80 años de una final histórica on Xenen</ref>
