In the 1934 season of the Campeonato Carioca, two championships were disputed, each by a different league.
The edition of the Campeonato Carioca organized by AMEA started on April 8, 1934. The championship began with all the ten teams that had finished the championship of the previous year, but in early June, a series of events that resulted on half the teams leaving the championship began. the severely reduced championship only ended on January 13, 1935. Botafogo won the championship for the 7th time. no teams were relegated.
The tournament would be disputed in a double round-robin format, with the team with the most points winning the title.
Due to the unbalanced amount of matches that the remaining teams had, for title awarding purposes, it was decided that the team with less points lost would win the title and that the matches against the five teams that had abandoned the championship wouldn't be annulled.
