Inter-American Cup

The Inter-American Cup is an annual international association football competition played between the winners of the CONCACAF Champions League - North and Central America and the Caribbean - and of the Copa Libertadores - South America.

History

Between 1970 and 1998, the Inter-American Cup was played as a two-legged tie, with one leg played at the home venue of each participant, using the total aggregate score to decide the winner; if the aggregate score was equal, a penalty shoot-out was used to decide the winner on three occasions; on two occasions, a third match was played at a neutral venue. Since 1999 the final has been played as a single match at a neutral venue decided in advance by lottery; extra time and penalty shootouts are used to decide a winner if the scores are level after ninety minutes.

No competition was held in 1971.

BC in the Inter-American Cup

The first BC club to appear in the competition was Nanaimo Thistle in 1974; the first to win were Vancouver City in 1978. BC clubs have appeared in the competition twenty times, winning on thirteen occasions; Port Alberni Athletic have been the most successful, winning four times, including three consecutively between 1993 and 1995.
