The teams in each group play against each other once. The two group winners meet in the knockout round in the semi-finals to the two group winners of the other group. Their winners will play for the Taça Guanabara.

In the Taça Rio no new groups are formed. However, the groups did not play each other, but each eight (!) Games against the teams in the other group. The table of the group thus reflects the results against the teams in the other group represents the two group winners will meet again in the knockout round in the semi-finals to the two group winners of the other group. Their winners will play for the Taça Rio.

The grand finale of Campeonato Carioca Taca Guanabara and the winner of the Taça Rio each play a return match for the Campeao Carioca eachother. Win a team both Winners Cup, so this is automatically the Campeao Carioca and the finals omitted.
