The 2014 Campeonato Carioca (officially the 2014 Cariocão Guaraviton for sponsorship reasons) was the 113th edition of the top tier of the Campeonato Carioca, organized by FFERJ (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 the 2015 Copa do Brasil. The highest-placed team not otherwise playing in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Série B or Série C qualified for the 2014 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. This edition of the Campeonato Carioca was played as a single round-robin called the Taça 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 number 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.
