NB: all teams are from Montevideo; note that the Consejo Provisorio was a unification tournament after the FUF were dissolved and its clubs returned to the AUF (Wanderers actually had a team in both tournaments); as in the case of the comparable and contemporary schisms in Argentine football, we consider both championships as of equal value in the list of honours. The AUF itself does not maintain a list of 'official championships'.
[1] the River Plate team that won four amateur championships in the early years was dissolved in the twenties, following the advent of professional football; the current River Plate team from Montevideo is a different one, founded in 1932 as a merger of Olimpia and Capurro. [2] Nacional fans contest the relationship between C.U.R.C.C. and Pe�arol; the fact is that the direction of the Railway (C.U.R.C.C. abbreviated Central Uruguayan Railways Cricket Club) decided to stop supporting the sports club in 1913, and its football section then decided to form an independent football team, called Pe�arol; this new club took over C.U.R.C.C.'s place in the league and its players. In addition, the Uruguayan government acknowledged in 1914 that the juridical identity of C.U.R.C.C. was transferred to Pe�arol. (Thanks to Emanuelle Marsella for providing a scan of a copy of the original document, printed in 1950.)
