Format
The competition was divided into two stages: a preliminary stage and the national stage. In the preliminary stage, teams from the amateur lower leagues competed for 20 berths to the national stage. In the first phase of the national stage, 28 teams from the Primera División Amateur and Segunda División entered the competition, for a total of 48 teams which are divided into 24 ties, with the winners qualifying for the second round. The 24 second round winners advanced to play against each other to define 12 winners into the third phase.[1]
32 teams played in the third phase: 12 winners from the previous phase, 16 professional teams from the Primera División, the best relegated team of Primera División the previous season (Progreso), the defending champion of the Primera División Amateur (Miramar Misiones) and the defending champion and runner-up of the Copa Nacional de Clubes (Central and Juventud (Colonia)). From this point onwards, the winners played against each other in single-legged knockout phases except for the semi-finals, which were played over two legs, whilst the Final was played in a single match.[1]
The winner of the competition was also awarded a US$ 100,000 prize.[1]
