Overview

Boavista was the defending team of the title. A total of 11 clubs participated in the competition, one from each island league and one who won the last season's title. The season had one club short due to that the Brava Island League championships were cancelled, this was the most recent cancellation of a championship from any insular regional competition which led to Group B having one match short and a club had only one bye week, 31 matches from 36 and a 1/3 goal total than last season.

The biggest win were Mindelense (6–0 against Vulcânicos) and Boavista (6–0 against Rosariense), each of them were both matches with 6–0.
