The participation of the Peruvian football clubs in official international tournaments in the competitions organized by the CONMEBOL began in 1948 with the participation of the Deportivo Municipal in the Campeonato Sudamericano de Campeones, trophy recognized in 1996 as the first cup organized by the CONMEBOL. After this contest, the dispute of the official international tournaments was interrupted until 1960, when the South American teams began to participate in the Copa Libertadores.
