The Copa Centenario Revolución de Mayo was an international football tournament. Hosted by Argentina from May 29 to June 12, 1910, it was the first international tournament in South America where more than two football nations participated. It is considered a predecessor to the South American Championship, later renamed the Copa América.

This contest was held in honor of the 100th anniversary of the May Revolution. Previous to that, the only international competitions in South America had been contested by the national teams of Uruguay and Argentina only. Those competitions included the Copa Newton, the Copa Lipton and the Copa Premier Honor Argentino.

Because of having featured three of the subsequent four founding members of CONMEBOL, the Copa Centenario Revolución de Mayo was sometimes called the first Copa América. However, CONMEBOL recognizes the 1916 South American Championship as the first edition of Copa América.

The tournament was contested in a round-robin format between the national teams of Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. All three games were in Buenos Aires in two different venues: Gimnasia y Esgrima (BA) and Colegiales.
