The 1996 Intercontinental Cup was an association football match played on 26 November 1996, between Juventus, winners of the 1995–96 UEFA Champions League, and River Plate, winners of the 1996 Copa Libertadores. The match was played at the National Stadium in Tokyo. It was Juventus' third appearance into the competition, after the defeat in 1973 and the victory in 1985 against Argentinos Juniors, whereas it was River Plate's second appearance after the victory in 1986 against Steaua București.

Alessandro Del Piero was named as man of the match and got the only goal of the game when he shot right footed to the top of the net in the 81st minute.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablest/toyotamvp.html |access-date=5 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090414090937/http://rsssf.com/tablest/toyotamvp.html |archive-date=14 April 2009 |url-status=live }}
