The Copa de Competencia Británica George VI was an official Argentine football cup competition, played from 1944 to 1948. It was contested by teams participating in Primera División.^[1]

The format was a single-elimination tournament^[2] and the first editions (1944 and 1945) allowed four semifinalist teams to play the "Copa de la República".^[3]^[4] The fourth edition was abandoned in the first stage and therefore the Argentine Football Association declared there was not a champion.^[5]

The trophy was named after King George VI and donated by the ambassador of the United Kingdom in Argentina.^[6]
