Unofficial South American Championships in Athletics were held in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1950. It is stated that the event was held in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Uruguayan Athletics Federation.[1] However, the foundation date of the Confederación Atlética del Uruguay (CAU) was already two years earlier on March 1, 1918.[2]
