The 87th season of the Campeonato Gaúcho kicked off on January 20, 2007 and ended on May 6, 2007. The competition began with 18 clubs divided into two groups. Even before the end of first stage, Glória, Gaúcho, Guarani de Venâncio Aires and São José de Cachoeira do Sul were already relegated. The two biggest clubs of Rio Grande do Sul would not meet at the final, as Internacional were eliminated in the first stage. Holders Grêmio won the title once more after beating Juventude. That was the 35th title in the history of the club.[1][2]
