The Peruvian Second Division is called the "Copa Perú". In 1966 the First Division was named "Descentralizado" because for the first time teams from outside Lima played (4 teams were invited). The next year the Copa Perú began as a 2nd Division, all non-professional peruvian teams were allowed to participate. In the final stage, after many eliminatory rounds, six teams play the final (a round-robin tournament) in Lima, the capital.
After many years in 1984 the First Division grew from 16 to 44 teams : in the first part of the season a Regional Championship qualified the teams for the Descentralizado (second part of the season) with 16 to 18 teams; So the Copa Perú only qualified teams for the Regional. The tournament declined and 1987 was the last year in which a Final was contested. But in 1992 the First Division returned to its original form (Descentralizado with 16 teams) so Copa Perú appeared again in 1993 as a Second Division but this time only for teams from outside Lima. Since 1993 there is also a Second Division (12 to 14 teams) for Lima teams.
For 1998 a major change took place: 8 teams - issued from the Regional Stage - qualified for the Final Stage. This stage was played as an authentic cup tournament on home and away matches; the winner gaining promotion to First Division. In 2004 the number of teams participating in the Final Stage was increased to 16 when the Second Division for Lima was again incorporated in the tournament; they also played an authentic cup tournament on home and away matches. In 2006 the Second Division teams did not take part in the Copa Peru anymore. Furthermore, Copa Peru winner is still promoted to First Division, but the runner-up now gets promoted to Second Division (that now has teams from all over Peru).

After each team name, between brackets are the names of the city and department from which each team comes from. 2. From 1967 until 1974, the final was played on the first half of the year; therefore promoted team(s) played on the same year First Division tournament. It explains why Carlos Mannucci despite being promoted in 1968 won again the tournament in 1969. Since 1976 the winner gains promotion for next year First Division.
