Taça dos Campeões Estaduais Rio-São Paulo

Brazilian championships were run by city or state. It was not possible to have a national championship. However, in 1910 a competition was introduced in which the reigning champions of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo played each other for a trophy. The 1910 fixture is seen as a forerunner of the later matches, and Botafogo's victory is generally not considered 'official'. In 1911 the  Taça Salutaris was insituted. During the competition's history a succession of trophies were contested.

Taça Salutaris 1911-16
Taça Ioduran 1917-19
Torneio dos Campeões 1920-31
Torneio Rio-São Paulo 1933-

The matches tended to take place in the following season (so that, for example, the 1910 championship was decided in 1911. 1937 was an exception to this rule).
