The club was formed in 1901, as a result of the merging of football clubs Santa Rosa and La Rosales. River Plate won their first Primera División title in 1920; since then, the club has won a further 37 league titles, along with 16 national cups. At international level, they have been crowned champions of South American football on four occasions, winning the Copa Libertadores in 1986, 1996, 2015 and 2018, and have also won a Worldwide thropy, the 1986 Intercontinental Cup.
