The competition is contested by 8 teams. The teams are chosen between the top twelve teams of the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A1 and the top four teams of the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A2 choosing only one team for state. If necessary, a state would gain a second berth according to its Women's State CBF Ranking position. The teams play a single-elimination tournament. All stages are played on a single-leg basis, with the highest-ranked-federation team in the Women's State Ranking hosting the leg.[2]
