54 goals were scored in 15 games.

The 1955 tournament therefore featured 4 of the 5 champions who had participated in both editions of the Copa Rio (the other participant in common between the two editions of the Copa Rio in 1951 and 1952 was the Austrian club Austria Vienna). In 1955, the Uruguayan and Portuguese champions once again attended international events in Brazil, as they had done in 1951, 1952 and 1953. In 1953, the tournament organized by the CBD (Rivadavia Corrêa Meyer), named in honor of the president of the CBD, featured the Portuguese champion and only did not feature the Uruguayan champion from the previous year because the Uruguayan Football Association vetoed its participation in the tournament.
