The Latin Cup[1] was an international football tournament for club sides from the Southwest European nations of France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. In 1949, the football federations came together and requested FIFA launch the competition. European clubs could not afford hefty travel costs, so competition was staged at the end of every season in a single host country. The competition featured two semi-finals, a third-place play-off, and a final.[2]

This competition is considered a predecessor of European club tournaments, namely the European Cup,[3] the first edition of which was held in 1955.
