The 1949 Campeonato de Selección y Competencia was the 33rd season of the Peruvian Primera División. Eight teams participated in the second-to-last amateur-status championship, which was played as a triple round-robin tournament. The champions were Universitario.[1][2][3]

No team was relegated; therefore the top-flight grew to 10 teams for 1950.

Competition format

All teams faced each other in a triple round-robin format. The team that accumulated the highest number of points at the end of the season was automatically crowned champion.

Two points were awarded for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss.
