The Campeonato Carioca de Futebol Feminino (Carioca Women's Football Championship, in English), organized by the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation was the women's football state championship of Rio de Janeiro State, and was officially disputed between 1995 and 2000, which was always won by Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama. In 2006, the competition was again disputed.
The four most important Rio de Janeiro Men's football teams (Vasco da Gama, Flamengo, Botafogo and Fluminense) disputed all editions of the competition. However, the small interest in women's football was responsible for the cancellation of the competition. In 2006, the four most important Rio de Janeiro clubs did not dispute the competition, and in 2007 only Botafogo participated of the competition.
Two unofficial competitions were also disputed, Torneio de Rio das Ostras (Rio das Ostras Tournament, in English), which had Flamengo as the champion of the only edition disputed, in 1999, and Torneio Início (Start Tournament, in English) which had Vasco da Gama winning in 1999 and 2000, the only editions of the tournament.
