Overview

CS Mindelense was the defending team of the title. A total of 12 clubs participated in the competition, one from each island league and one who won the last season's title. It would be the first time that more than three clubs shared the same club name starting with Académica numbering five out of twelve. Half of Group B clubs would bear the first club name but only half would bear the name in the knockout stage. In the top semifinal bracket, those same clubs again appeared and would be the first time. Both clubs from Santo Antão, Paulense and Académica Porto Novo would later appear in the national cup competitions. It also marked the last appearance of Juventude from the island of Sal.

The biggest win was Sporting Praia who won 6-0 over Juventude from Sal. SC Atlético became the second club to win all five matches in any of the six club group stage.

The finals were interrupted due to the local elections that took place on July 1.
