History

The competition was first played in 1976, as Torneio José Américo de Almeida Filho. It was played again in 1994. From 1997 to 1999, the Campeonato do Nordeste champions granted qualification to Copa Conmebol.

From 2000 to 2002, the Campeonato do Nordeste champions granted qualification to the Copa dos Campeões.

The competition returned in 2010, after being defunct since 2003.[1] Copa do Nordeste returned again in 2013. From the 2014 Copa do Nordeste winner will get a spot in the Copa Sudamericana.
