The Copa Dr. Carlos Ibarguren, also called Campeonato ArgentinoArgentina - Copa Ibarguren by Osvaldo Gorgazzi on the RSSSF or simply Copa Ibarguren was an official Argentine football cup competition contested between 1913 and 1958. Between 1913 and 1925, the winner of the cup received the honor to be the "Argentine Champion". That is because the cup faced the two strongest champions of the country, represented by the Buenos Aires league (Primera División) and the Rosario league (with its affiliated teams competing in Copa Nicasio Vila, the main division of LRF).
