The Siglo XX Games (Creeperian Spanish: Juegos del Sigo XX; Atlántidan Spanish: Xogos do Século XX; Castillianan Spanish: Xuegus d'Sieglu XX; Salvadoran: Jocs del Segle XX), also known as the XX Century Games, were a series of association football matches held in 1900 between the nations of Creeperopolis, Atlántida, Castilliano, El Salvador, and the State of the Church. The games are considered to be the first international football matches for each of the five nations which participated in the games. The games were opened by Creeperian Emperor Alexander I on 18 November 1900.

During the games, the Creeperopolis national team won every one of its games which it played, winning every game in a shutout and ending with a goal differential of +42. The Creeperopolis national team won the Final in a 21–0 shutout blowout win against the Castilliano national team. Since the games were played, the Creeperopolis national team has been accused of paying the games' referees to referee favorably to the Creeperopolis national team, however, the Creeperopolis national team has denied bribing the referees for an unfair advantage. The tournament itself has been called a "ceremonial tournament," implying that Creeperopolis would have been champions regardless of what happened in the tournament.

The games host a number of international association football records. The Final's result of 21–0 remains the largest margin of victory in an international match, Gustavo Marroquín Herrera's 6 goals in the first game of the tournament remains the most goals scored by a first-time international player, Marroquín Herrera's 21 goals throughout the tournament remains the record for the most goals in an international tournament, the 14–13 penalties between Atlántida and El Salvador remains as the most penalties ever scored during an international match, and Creeperopolis' +42 goal differential remains the highest goal differential ever in an international tournament.

The tournament was retroactively considered by CONFUSUR in 1970 as the "0th edition" of the Copa Sur, and has since been included as one of the 26 editions of the Copa Sur which have been played.
