The tournament was arranged in Argentina, in the city of Puerto Iguazú, except for a match in Posadas. Like in the previous years, four teams played to qualify to the final pool, with Argentina (host) admitted directly. The first two were qualified, keeping the results of their matches also for second round. Chile won the pool and Uruguay was the runner-up. Argentina Jaguars won the final, after easy wins over Chile and Uruguay.
