Copa Sul-Minas

Copa Sul-Minas was a Brazilian football competition that ran between 2000 and 2002, with teams from the three Southern states of Brazil, plus the Southeastern state of Minas Gerais. It is a successor competition to the 1999 Tournament called Copa Sul which only included teams from the Southern states. In 2016, a successor to this tournament was created, the Primeira Liga (also known as Copa Sul-Minas-Rio).

In its three editions, Copa Sul-Minas was won by Minas Gerais teams.
