The 1903 Tie Cup Final was the final match to decide the winner of the Tie Cup, the 4th. edition of the international competition organised by Argentine and Uruguayan Associations together. As its previous editions, the final was contested by two teams from Argentina, Alumni (third consecutive final contested) and Rosario A.C. (fourth consecutive final).
In the first round, Alumni achieved a large victory over arch-rival Belgrano A.C. (6–1) at Quilmes stadium while Rosario A.C. had thrashed Rosario Central 5–0 in Plaza Jewell. In semifinals, Alumni defeated Club Nacional de Football (1–0 at Parque Central) while Rosario A.C. beat Quilmes 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 in its 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 on rugby union and field hockey.
