Top two teams in each group advanced to semifinal and then, to the final, played in one single match at Maracanã Stadium. Botafogo won the title, defeating Vasco da Gama in the final 2-0.
  • Taça Rio: teams from one group play against 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. Botafogo won this final as well, defeating Flamengo won 2-1 thus clinching the championship without the need for a final round.

Relegation table

Per the rules of the Campeonato Carioca, for the purposes of relegation the standard tiebreaker criteria are not used. Since Duque de Caxias, Resende, and Friburguense all finished equal with 12 points in the relegation zone of the aggregate table, an additional double round-robin was played to determine relegation.
