It was disputed between the winners of the Copa Libertadores de América, the Supercopa Sudamericana, the Copa CONMEBOL, and the Supercopa Masters (CONMEBOL Masters in the 1996 edition).

The champions of the two "major" competitions, namely Argentine clubs Vélez Sársfield (winner of the 1994 Copa Libertadores) and Club Atlético Independiente (winner of the 1994 Supercopa Sudamericana), decided not to participate in the 1995 edition of the Copa de Oro, and instead disputed the Recopa Sudamericana in a single match carried out in Tokyo, Japan.
