The2015 Campeonato Carioca was the 114th edition of the top tier of theCampeonato Carioca, organized byFFERJ (Federação de Futebol do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, or Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation). The top four teams not otherwise qualified through national and international tournaments qualified for the2016 Copa do Brasil.[1][2][3] The highest-placed team not otherwise playing in theCampeonato Brasileiro Série A,Série B orSérie C qualified for the2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[4] This edition of the Campeonato Carioca was played as a single round-robin called theTaça Guanabara followed by two-legged semifinals and a two-legged final. Two teams would be relegated: if there were no other teams with the same amount of points as the last- and penultimate-placed teams in the Taça Guanabara, then the last- and penultimate-placed teams would be relegated; if more than two teams tied for fewest or second-fewest points in the Taça Guanabara, then a relegation playoff would be played.[5]
