Chile, Paraguay and Peru won two titles each where Bolivia and Colombia won one trophy each.

Last season in 2016 which was the centennial event of CA, Chile defeated Argentina in final by penalty shoot out which was the pathetic news for Argentina because they are still the number #1 team and also was the hot favourite. They defeated Chile in the same tournament in group stage but due to bad luck they again tested the lose in final which was just the repeat of 2015 final.

Copa America 2019 will be played according to round robin formation. Total twelves teams will be divided into three groups where four teams in each. Every team will play three matches against others. At the end of the group stage, top two teams from each group along with two best placed 3rd teams will qualify for next quarter final.

Though CA generally placed once after every four years since the beginning but upcoming season will be placed after three years. Cause last season of CA was the anniversary competition. Due to the completion of hundred years of Copa America, in 2016 it was hosted in United States where total sixteen teams had competed. Both CONMEBOL and CONCACAF arranged that centennial event of CA. So, upcoming season will be placed in regular time.

According to the last season, total ten venues in United States were selected for the season of CA 2016. In upcoming season, the venues are to be announced. The venues in Brazil would probably based on FIFA World Cup 2014.
