Pequeña Copa del Mundo (Spanish: Small World Cup) was a football (soccer) tournament held in Venezuela between 1952 and 1957, with a single revival in 1963 and in 1965. It was usually played by to eight participants, half from Europe and half from South America. On the European side, the Latin Cup may have initially been used as a qualifying tournament. Nothing is known about the South American selection criteria. After the early seventies the tournament rapidly lost status as the quality of the participants decreased.
