The 1936 Copa Aldao was the final match to decide the winner of the Copa Aldao, the ninth edition of the international competition organised by the Argentine and Uruguayan Associations together.[1] The final was contested by Uruguayan club Peñarol and Argentine club River Plate.[2]
River Plate contested the match as the winner of "Copa de Oro", a cup that decided which team would participate in the final as the 1936 Argentine Primera División season had crowned two champions, River Plate and San Lorenzo. After River beat San Lorenzo 3–1, the team was eligible to play the 1936 edition of Copa Aldao.[3]
The match was played at Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, where River Plate achieved a conclusive victory of 5–1 over Peñarol, winning its first Copa Aldao Trophy.[4]
