Notes

Argentina and Brazil were looking to finish in the top 4 in order to qualify for the World Youth Championship, a competition which the two sides have thoroughly dominated, having won 9 of the 16 World Youth titles between them.
The hosts Paraguay were also hoping to do well, they had finished in the top two every time they have hosted the event before, but they had a disappointing campaign, finishing fifth, missing out on a place in the World Youth Championship altogether.
Colombia were the defending champions and the only team other than Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay to have won the tournament on more than one occasion.
Chile were looking to qualify for the world Youth Championship, they managed to qualify in 2005 with only 5 points from 5 games, this time around they qualified with 6 points from 5 games.
The club teams that contributed the most players to the tournament are:
- 8: Alianza Lima, Peru
- 7: Sporting Cristal, Peru
- 6: Racing Club, Argentina
- 5: Boca Juniors, Argentina
- 5: Colo-Colo, Chile
- 5: Club Sport Emelec, Ecuador
- 5: Club Libertad, Paraguay
- 5: Danubio, Uruguay
