1927 Argentine Primera División

The 1927 Argentine Primera División was the 36th season of top-flight football in Argentina. Thirty-four teams were eligible to play the tournament (8 from official AFA and 26 from dissident AAm). It was also established that the 14 founder members of AAm would not be relegated in case of finishing in the last position. Therefore, the last four teams at the end of the season (Tigre, San Isidro, Estudiantes (BA) and Porteño) remained in Primera.^[1]

Notes:

1. 2 points deducted?
2. There were no relegations in 1927 because the rules stated that the 14 founding members of Asociación Amateurs were exempt to be relegated in case of finishing last during their first season in the reunified league. That applied to Defensores de Belgrano, Tigre, San Isidro, Estudiantes (BA) and Porteño.
