The1903 Tie Cup Final was the final match to decide the winner of theTie Cup, the 4th. edition of the international competition organised byArgentine andUruguayan Associations together. As its previous editions, the final was contested by two teams from Argentina,Alumni (third consecutive final contested) andRosario A.C. (fourth consecutive final).
In the first round, Alumni achieved a large victory over arch-rivalBelgrano A.C. (6–1) at Quilmes stadium while Rosario A.C. had thrashedRosario Central 5–0 inPlaza Jewell. In semifinals, Alumni defeatedClub Nacional de Football (1–0 at Parque Central) while Rosario A.C. beatQuilmes 2–0 in Plaza Jewell.[3]
Although Rosario A.C. did not win the Cup, the club was in the road to consolidate not only as the main team inits city of origin but one of the strongest teams in Argentina, with four consecutive international finals played.[4] Nevertheless, the club would abandon the practise of football in the 1910s, focusing onrugby union andfield hockey.
