The Copa Paulista de Futebol, formerly known as Copa FPF, also sometimes called Copa Federação Paulista de Futebol or, in English, São Paulo State Cup, is a tournament organized by Federação Paulista de Futebol Company every second half of the season. It is played by São Paulo state teams not playing in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A and by reserve teams of Paulista teams playing in the Brazilian League.

The competition has already had several different names. In 2001, it was named Copa Coca-Cola (Coca-Cola Cup), due to the company's sponsorship.[1] In 2002, it was named Copa Futebol Interior (São Paulo Countryside Football Cup).[2] In 2003 it was named Copa Estado de São Paulo (São Paulo State Cup).[1] From 2004 to 2007 it was named Copa FPF.[1] Since 2008 it is named Copa Paulista de Futebol.[3]

Since 2005, the competition winner gained the right to compete in the following year's Copa do Brasil. From 2007 to 2010, the Copa Paulista winner also competed in Recopa Sul-Brasileira.[4]
