Hosted by Brazil, the competition ran from 17 September – 6 November 1922 and was contested by the national teams of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. After the completion of the round-robin tournament, three teams – Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay – were tied level on points. With no tiebreaking criteria, a series of play-offs was to be organised to decide the champion. However, Uruguay withdrew in protest at refereeing decisions so Brazil and Paraguay played for the title. Brazil won the play-off 3–0 to win the championships for the second time.
