The '''Copa Rio''' ({{langx|en|Rio Cup}}) is a regional cup competition for football clubs in the Rio de Janeiro state. It is run by the [[Federação de Futebol do Estado do Rio de Janeiro|Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation]]. [[Volta Redonda Futebol Clube|Volta Redonda]] has the record for most trophies won.
==History==
The competition was founded in 1991 by the [[Federação de Futebol do Estado do Rio de Janeiro|Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation]] to decide one of the Rio de Janeiro's [[Copa do Brasil]] representatives of the following year (the other being the [[Campeonato Carioca]] champion). If the state champion had also won Copa Rio, the representative would have been the tournament runner-up. However, in 1995 the [[Brazilian Football Confederation]] established the possibility of a club being invited to dispute [[Copa do Brasil]], and, as a consequence of this, Copa Rio ended up not being interesting for the big teams, so it was discontinued. Flamengo won the first competition with [[Léo Júnior]] as captain. It started in April 20 and was concluded on 10 August 1991.
In 1996 and 1997, the competition was replaced by a similar competition disputed only by Rio de Janeiro state countryside clubs, commonly known as ''Copa do Interior'' (Portuguese for ''Countryside Cup''). In 1998, there was an attempt to recreate Copa Rio, but without the qualification to Copa do Brasil. This attempt was a failure, and after three years, the competition was discontinued again. During that season only Flamengo and Fluminense participated from the Rio's ''Big 4'', while none of them joined the competition in the following year and only Botafogo in 2000. Thus, the Rio Cup started losing its shine in the decade to follow.
In 2008, the third-placed team ([[Madureira Esporte Clube|Madureira]]) was eligible to play in [[Copa Rio-Espírito Santo]].<ref name="lance22062008">{{cite journal |title= Nova Iguaçu em festa |journal= [[Lance!]] | publisher = Areté Editorial S/A | location = Rio de Janeiro | year = 2008 | pages = 12 | issue = 3871}}</ref> In 2005 and in 2007, the competition was held again, but without the participation of the big clubs of the state, and again without qualification to Copa do Brasil.
