Copa Bernardo O'Higgins (English: Bernardo O'Higgins Cup) was a national football tournament disputed between Brazil and Chile, from 1955 to 1966. The competition, played on a two-legged format, was similar to other tournaments played at the time, such as the Roca Cup between Argentina and Brazil.[1]
The cup's name was a tribute to Bernardo O'Higgins, a figure of great importance in Chile's independence,[2][3] and considered one of the liberators of South America during the Spanish occupation in the colonial period.[4]
