[1][2] Abolished in 2017,[3] CBF announced the return of the competition on 17 January 2025, with 64 teams from the three national divisions.

[4] The competition was announced after FIFA president Sepp Blatter requested the creation of a professional women's football league in Brazil.

[5] Since Brazil had no national league until 2013, the winner of the 2008 to 2013 cups qualified for the Copa Libertadores Femenina.

CBF canceled the competition in 2017 to make the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino more balanced and attractive,[3] but announced its return on 17 January 2025.

Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino's first stage was similar to the men's competition, thus being a knockout competition, played over two legs between clubs of the same region, and disputed in three rounds, but in the second stage the eight qualified clubs were divided in two groups of four teams each, playing against each other once, and held in a host city.
