Squads
Each team may register a squad of 23 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers).[3]
First stage
The draw was held on September 29, 2014.[4] Each group contains one team from each of the five "pairing pots": Argentina–Brazil, Paraguay–Uruguay, Colombia–Ecuador, Chile–Peru, Bolivia–Venezuela.
The top three teams in each group qualified for the final stage.
When teams finished level of points, the final order was determined according to:[3]
- superior goal difference in all matches
- greater number of goals scored in all group matches
- better result in matches between the tied teams
- drawing of lots
All match times are in local Uruguay Summer Time (UTC−02:00).

Qualification for other tournaments
The tournament served as CONMEBOL's qualifier for the following tournaments:[3]
- The top four teams, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, and Brazil, qualified for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
- The four teams which finished third to sixth, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, and Paraguay, qualified for the 2015 Pan American Games men's football tournament in Canada.[5] This was changed from the previous set-up where the South American Under-17 Football Championship was used as qualification for the Pan American Games football tournament.
- Same as previous Youth Championships that were held one year prior to the Olympics, CONMEBOL used the tournament to determine which men's under-23 national teams from South America qualify for the Olympic football tournament. Since Brazil already qualified automatically as hosts of the 2016 Summer Olympics men's football tournament, the top-ranked team other than Brazil qualified directly, while the second top-ranked team other than Brazil advanced to a play-off against the third-placed team of the 2015 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Championship for the final berth in the Olympics.[6] Since Brazil finished third in the tournament, Argentina qualified for the Olympics,[7] while Colombia advanced to the play-off, where they defeated the United States to become CONMEBOL's third Olympic representative.[8]
