The Roberto Chery Cup is a friendly football match between the national teams of Argentina and Brazil.

The match was organised by the Brazilian Football Confederation in honour of Roberto Chery, goalkeeper for Peñarol and the Uruguayan national team, who died on 30 May 1919, aged 23, in Rio de Janeiro.
His death was caused by a hernia complicated by strangulation, which he suffered during the match between Uruguay and Chile on 17 May 1919 in the South American Championship.

Brazil played the match in a black and yellow striped shirt, in honour of Chery's team Club Atlético Peñarol, while Argentina wore a light blue shirt resembling the Uruguayan uniform.
Once the match was over, the trophy was presented to Club Peñarol.
