  • Taça Rio: The teams from one group played the teams from the other group once. Top two teams in each group qualify to semifinal and final, to be played in one single match at Maracanã Stadium.
  • Finals: Taça Guanabara and Taça Rio winners play twice at Maracanã Stadium. If the same club wins both stages, they will be declared champions and the final won't be necessary.
