Olaria-RJ 2–0 Bangu-RJ

Copa Rio: Created in 1991 by the Rio de Janeiro state football federation, with Flamengo as its first champions, it is the complementary tournament on the state's calendar. It grew in importance by giving smaller clubs a door into national competitions: today the champion chooses between a place in the following year's Copa do Brasil or Série D, and the runner-up takes the other. Volta Redonda are the record winners with five titles.
