The 1969 Copa Libertadores de América was the 10th edition of the Copa Libertadores, a football competition contested between the top clubs of the CONMEBOL federation. Estudiantes won the competition defeating Nacional 4–0 on points over two-legs. The CBD declared that no Brazilian club would play in the 1969 Copa Libertadores de América, since Brazil disagreed on the format of the tournament, whose dates would conflict with the preparation of the national team for the 1970 World Cup Qualifying matches.[1]
The champions and runners-up of each football association were drawn into the same group along with another football association's participating teams. One club from Argentina competed as Estudiantes was champion of the 1968 Copa Libertadores. They entered the tournament in the Semifinals.
