The eight participating teams were the national sides of hosts Colombia, along with Argentina A, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Costa Rica who were making their debut in the South American Championship. Mexico went undefeated throughout the tournament and defeated Uruguay by six wickets in the final.
