The América Paraná Sport Club (also América-Paraná ...) was an association football club from Curitiba, the capital of the Brazilian state of Paraná. The club was established before the state championship of Paraná of 1917 through a merger of the América Foot-Ball Club, founded in 1914, and the Paraná Sport Club, founded in 1910 by employees of the American South Brazilian Engineering Company after their transfer from Ponta Grossa, ca. 100 km northwest of Curitiba, to the capital, to create a credible force against the then prevailing teams of the Coritiba Foot Ball Club and the Internacional Futebol Clube.
