For the 2005-06 season, the away kit changed to a new all red one, thus looking exactly like the English Liverpool football team. Liverpool plays home matches in Estadio Belvedere (Belvedere Stadium), formerly owned by the Montevideo Wanderers.

River Plate have won the second division title 6 times, this is a national record they share with Sud América

C.A. River Plate's away kit is sometimes sky blue jersey, black shorts and socks. This kit was adopted by the Uruguay national football team in 1910 as a homage to the disbanded River Plate F.C. (four times champions of Uruguay) who defeated the best team of the Americas at the time, the Argentine team Alumni. Thus, the worldwide known "celeste" jersey was taken by the national team from the club away kit. Before 1910 Uruguay wore several jerseys including dark blue, green, striped white and sky blue, similar to that of Argentina among others.

Titles
River Plate's highest position was reached in 1992. Osvaldo Canobbio, Fernando Correa, Juan Ramón Carrasco, Luis Diego López and Edgardo Adinolfi were involved in the squad by those times. Nacional won the tittle based on the skills of the notable forward Julio Dely Valdes.
