In this tournament after many qualification rounds, each one of the 24 departments in which Peru is politically divided, qualify a team. Those teams plus de team relegated from First Division on the last year, enter in two more rounds and finally 6 of them qualify for the Final round, staged in Lima (the capital).
This year the tournament was held but no team was promoted to First Division because of a law from Peruvian government (Law # 22555). The champion was awarded with the right to represent Peru in an international tournament for amateur teams. Only 4 teams entered the Final.
