The first time the Gávea team won the competition trophy was in 1990, in a decision against Goiás. The title was secured thanks to a 1-0 victory in the first leg, played in Juiz de Fora. The winning goal was scored by defender Fernando with a header. In the return match, the team, then led by Jair Pereira, drew goalless with Esmeraldino at Serra Dourada.
The second Copa do Brasil came only in 2006, but in a special way, on archrival Vasco da Gama. On the first leg, Obina and Luizão ensured a 2-0 triumph. On the return, Rubro-Negro triumphed again, 1-0, with a goal by defender Juan.
Flamengo’s third achievement in the competition was achieved in a decision with Athletico-PR. In the first game of the final, in Vila Capanema, the teams were 1-1. But on the way back, the Gávea team had goals from forward Hernanes and midfielder Elias to triumph 2-1.
