In 2007, the competition was contested by 32 teams, and was played from 30 October to 9 December of the same year. 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. The two best placed teams of each group qualified to the semifinals. The semifinal winners played the final while the losers played the third-place playoff. CBF determined that to be eligible to play in the competition it was necessary to be a minimum of 14 years old and a maximum of 34 years old, and half of the players of each club had to be aged between 14 and 18 years old. In the past format, the competition was contested between the state champions, with states best-ranked in the
CBF ranking receiving multiple entries, totalling 32 teams. For the 2025 edition, the competition will be contested by 64 teams: 16 from the
Campeonato Brasileiro Série A1, 16 from the
Campeonato Brasileiro Série A2, and 32 from the
Campeonato Brasileiro Série A3. ==Referees==
