  1. There is a controversy regarding the continuity of CURCC and Peñarol. One position holds that both clubs are the same club, and that in 1913 a group of partners CURCC separated to continue the football activity under the name of CURCC/Penarol, definitely changing to the current name of CA Peñarol in 1914. Another position, promoted mainly by Nacional, says on separation between Peñarol CURCC and founded a new club, different from the previous one, since coexisted for a period of almost two years, until the dissolution of CURCC in 1915, date that CURCC donated all his trophies to British Hospital.
  2. Not included five CURCC championships, but there is controversy whether the CURCC and Penarol are the same club.
