Abel Hernandez opened the scoring early in the first-half on Tuesday (AEST), before a Je-Vaughn Watson own goal put Uruguay 2-0 up midway through the second.
Second-half substitute Mathias Corujo wrapped up the result in the dying stages at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California with his first international goal.
The win also ended a five-game winless streak for Uruguay in the Copa America, stretching back to their 1-0 victory over Jamaica in last year's edition of the tournament in Chile.
Jamaica, meanwhile, have lost all six of their Copa America matches, without scoring a single goal
Despite exiting the group stage of the Copa for the first time since 1997, Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez elected to name a strong line-up in their dead rubber, including the likes of Edinson Cavani, Diego Godin and Fernando Muslera.
