The Uruguayan Championship 1914 was the 14th season of Uruguay's top-flight football league.

Overview

The tournament consisted of a two-wheel championship of all against all. It involved eight teams, and the champion was River Plate F.C. which won its second consecutive title and fourth championship in just seven years. It was also the last tournament for this team before its ultimate demise.

Before starting the sporting year, the C.U.R.C.C. announced the change of name to Club Atlético Peñarol, but many years later sparked controversy by denouncing another club (Nacional) that these were two different clubs, and that this was a manoeuvre for the new club Peñarol, from entering the First Division without having to go through the divisions of ascent.^[1]
