The club was founded on 9 March 1908 as Football Club Internazionale, when a group of players left the Milan Cricket and Football Club (now AC Milan) to form a new club because they wanted to accept more foreign players.{{Cite web |last=Gifford |first=Clive |date=27 February 2024 |title=Inter Milan |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Inter-Milan |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240214092225/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Inter-Milan |archive-date=14 February 2024 |access-date=29 February 2024 |website=britannica.com |publisher=Encyclopedia Britannica |quote=Inter was formed in 1908 by a breakaway group of players from the Milan Cricket and Football Club (now known as AC Milan) who wanted their club to accept more foreign players}} The name of the club derives from the wish of its founding members to accept foreign players as well as Italians.{{Cite web |last=Wright |first=Chris |date=6 June 2023 |title='Internazionale'?

In 1922, Inter was at risk of relegation to the second division, but they remained in the top league after winning two play-offs.

Six years later, during the Fascist era, the club merged with the Unione Sportiva Milanese and, for political reasons, was renamed Società Sportiva Ambrosiana.{{Cite web |title=Storia |url=http://www.inter.it/en/societa/storia.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100130141713/http://www.inter.it/en/societa/storia.html |archive-date=30 January 2010 |access-date=6 September 2007 |publisher=FC Internazionale Milano}} During the 1928–29 season, the team wore white jerseys with a red cross emblazoned on it; the jersey's design was inspired by the flag and coat of arms of the city of Milan.{{sfn|Galasso|2015|pp=17-18}} In 1929, the new club chairman Oreste Simonotti changed the club's name to Associazione Sportiva Ambrosiana and restored the previous black-and-blue jerseys; however, supporters continued to call the team Inter, and in 1931 new chairman Pozzani succumbed to shareholder pressure and changed the name to Associazione Sportiva Ambrosiana-Inter.

Inter won its third and fourth Serie A title in 1930 and 1938, and also their first Coppa Italia (Italian Cup) was won in 1939, led by Giuseppe Meazza one of the greatest Italian player of all time and the greatest scorer in Inter history with 284 goals, and after whom the San Siro stadium is officially named. A fifth championship followed in 1940, that ended a decade dominated by three teams: Inter, Bologna and the historic rival Juventus.

In the 30's Inter also played for seven times in one of the first major European football cups, the Central European Cup, with Meazza that was a record three times topscorer of the competition; coached by Hungarian Árpád Weisz Inter reached the final of the competition in 1933, when after had won the first leg in Milan 2–1, lost 3–1 in 9 men against Austria Vienna.

4 out of 11 players of that team: Meazza, Luigi Allemandi, Attilio Demaría and Armando Castellazzi would go on to win the 1934 World Cup with Italian national team, while other four Inter players will contribute to the win of 1938 World Cup with Italy: Meazza, Ugo Locatelli, Giovanni Ferrari and Pietro Ferraris.

After the end of World War II, the club's name changed back to its original one, Internazionale, and it come close to win Serie A title in two occasions, one in the last season of Grande Torino in 1949 and in 1951 with the contribution of great players acquired by president Carlo Masseroni in these years, like the first Dutch player in club history Faas Wilkes; Inter will win its sixth championship in 1953 and its seventh in 1954, for the first time in two consecutive years, coached by Alfredo Foni and led by two of the most prolific strikers in club history: István Nyers and Benito Lorenzi with Lennart Skoglund that completed the offensive trio.

In May 1955 Angelo Moratti became the new owner of Inter, and in the first years of his presidency got disappointing results despite strong players like Angelillo that scored an all-time record in a season in Serie A with 18 teams: 33 goals in 33 match in 1958-1959 season.

Moratti in the following years put foundations to one of the greatest team in football history starting from the debut of a 16 years old Mario Corso and the acquisition of Aristide Guarneri in 1958, and under Argentinian coach Helenio Herrera starting in 1960 with the signing of Giacinto Facchetti and Armando Picchi.

In 1960, manager Helenio Herrera joined Inter from Barcelona and in his first season as a coach in Milan, after have lead for most of the tournament lost the title in the last games of the season, with the infamous episode during Juventus-Inter held in Turin in April 1961 when the match was stopped for an invasion by Juventus supporters and the victory was assigned to Inter for 2-0 and then, after two months, in June before the last decisive match of Serie A with the two team tied in the first place the Italian Football Federation presieded by Juventus president Umberto Agnelli decided that the match between the two teams had to be replayed after the last game scheduled for the season; with Inter loss and a draw for Juventus, the following match became useless and in open contestation Angelo Moratti ordered Herrera to put Inter youth team against the Turinese squad: the match ended 9-1 for Juventus with the only goal scored for Inter by an 18 years old Sandro Mazzola that later will become one of the greatest legend in the history of the club.

Herrera would modify it by adding a fifth defender, the sweeper or libero, behind the two centre backs. The sweeper or libero, who acted as the free man, would deal with any attackers who went through the two centre backs. Inter finished third in the Serie A in his first season, second the next year and first in his third season.

After the Serie A title won in previous season, in 1964 Inter reached the European Cup Final by beating Borussia Dortmund in the semi-final and Partizan in the quarter-final.{{sfn|Sarugia|2007|pp=59-71}} In the final in Praterstadion, Vienna they met Real Madrid, a team that had reached seven out of the nine finals to date.{{sfn|Sarugia|2007|pp=59-71}} Mazzola scored two goals and one from Milani in a 3–1 victory, becoming also the first ever team to win the tournament without losing a single game.

The team also won the Intercontinental Cup after have lost the first match in Argentine against Independiente 1–0, Inter won second leg 2–0 in San Siro with goals from Mazzola and Corso, in the third decisive match played in Santiago Bernabeu Inter won in extra-time with a goal from Mario Corso, the first Italian club to win the trophy.

In 1964 Inter added other important players Angelo Domenghini, Gianfranco Bedin and another Spanish Joaquín Peiró that played with constance and was decisive in European Cup where three foreign players could play in the same time while in Serie A only two were allowed to play.

A year later, after have defeated Liverpool F.C. in the semi-final second leg 3–0 recovering from a 3–1 defeat at Anfield with Facchetti scoring the decisive goal, Inter repeated the feat by beating two-time winner Benfica in the final held at home, from a Jair goal, and then again beat Independiente in the Intercontinental Cup with a 3–0 win in San Siro, with two goals from Mazzola and one from Peirò, and a draw in Argentine, becoming the first European team to win two times in a row the competition. Inter came close to winning the Treble for the first time in European football history that year, after having also won the Serie A title, but lost the Coppa Italia final against Juventus in a game played in the last days of August 1965.

Inter again reached semifinals of the European cup in 1966, but this time lost against a Real Madrid team that would go on to win the tournament, while in national championship Herrera's squad won the tenth scudetto in club history, the first Star.

At the end of the season Moratti signed two of the greatest players of all time: Franz Beckenbauer{{Cite web |date=5 November 2014 |title=Beckenbauer: "Nel 1966 avevo firmato per l'Inter, ma poi tutto saltò" |url=http://www.repubblica.it/sport/calcio/serie-a/inter/2014/11/05/news/beckenbauer_fu_vicino_a_inter-99813075/}} and Eusebio,{{Cite web |last=Mario Gherarducci |date=5 January 2002 |title=Il rimpianto di Eusebio: "Ero dell'Inter, maledetta Corea" |url=http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2002/gennaio/05/rimpianto_Eusebio_Ero_dell_Inter_co_0_0201053152.shtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140208042816/http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2002/gennaio/05/rimpianto_Eusebio_Ero_dell_Inter_co_0_0201053152.shtml |archive-date=8 February 2014 |page=39 |periodical=Corriere della Sera}} but after 1966 World Cup when Italian National Team was eliminated by North Korea, Italian Federation decided to block new signings of foreign players who will last until 1980, avoided the contract with the two players.

In 1967, after Inter eliminated Real Madrid in quarterfinals, with Suárez injured, Inter lost the European Cup Final in Lisbon 2–1 to Celtic; a week later, despite the first position, with a lost against Mantova in the last match of the championship Inter lost also the Serie A title and a week later the Coppa Italia semifinal against Padova, putting an end de facto to the Grande Inter cicle with the first season without trophy since 1961–1962.{{Cite web |last=UEFA.com |title=The official website for European football |url=https://www.uefa.com/errors/ |access-date=2024-06-29 |website=UEFA |language=en}} During that year, the club changed its name to Football Club Internazionale Milano, and in 1968 after 13 years Angelo Moratti sold the team to Ivanoe Fraizzoli, and also Helenio Herrera left the team.

Following the golden era of the 1960s, Inter managed to win their eleventh league title in 1971 with Roberto Boninsegna that leaded the league with 24 goals, and their twelfth in 1980.{{Cite book |last=Toscani |first=Oliviero |title=Inter! 100 anni di emozioni 1908-2008 |publisher=Skira |year=2008 |isbn=978-88-6130-622-6 |publication-place=Milan |language=Italian}} Inter were defeated for the second time in five years in the final of the European Cup, losing 0–2 to Johan Cruyff's Ajax in 1972. During the 1970s and the 1980s, Inter also added two to its Coppa Italia tally, in 1977–78 and 1981–82 under coach Eugenio Bersellini.

Italian federation reopened the possibility to sign foreign players in 1980, Inter signed among others Hansi Müller (1975–1982 VfB Stuttgart, 1982–1984 Inter), Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (1974–1984 Bayern Munich, 1984–1987 Inter) and Argentinian Daniel Passarella (1986–1988 Inter); other important players in that time were Italians Graziano Bini, Walter Zenga, Giuseppe Bergomi, Alessandro Altobelli, Gabriele Oriali, Riccardo Ferri, Gianpiero Marini and Giuseppe Baresi: Bergomi, Oriali, Marini and Altobelli were part of Italy squad that won 1982 FIFA World Cup.

In 1981 Inter reached for the sixth time in six participations European Cup Semifinals this time against Real Madrid, a classic match that will repeat in 3 different European competitions in the 80's: in UEFA Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals in 1983 and in Uefa Cup semi-finals in 1985 and 1986.

Led by the German duo of Andreas Brehme and Lothar Matthäus, with Aldo Serena top scorer in Serie A with 22 goals, Argentine Ramón Díaz and Nicola Berti, Inter coached by Giovanni Trapattoni captured the 1989 Serie A championship ended with an all-time record for most points in Serie A history with 18 teams, with 58 points out of 68. Inter were unable to defend their title in the following season in a very competitive Serie A, despite adding fellow German Jürgen Klinsmann to the squad and winning their first Supercoppa Italiana at the start of the season.

The 1990s was a lackluster period. While their great rivals Milan and Juventus were achieving success both domestically and in Europe, Inter enjoyed little success in the domestic league standings, their worst coming in 1993–94 when they finished just one point out of the relegation zone. Nevertheless, they achieved some European success, with three UEFA Cup victories, in 1991, 1994 and 1998.

After the win of the 1990 World Cup of West Germany led by three Inter players, Matthews was awarded of Ballon d'Or and ended 1990–1991, his most prolific season in career, with 23 goals including 6 in 1991 UEFA Cup won against Roma in May 1991, the first European trophy since the Grande Inter period.

In 1992, after a disappointing season, in sostitution of the three German players that left in the summer and with the new coach Osvaldo Bagnoli, Inter signed important players like the future Ballon d'Or Matthias Sammer, Rubén Sosa, the first Russian player in club history Igor Shalimov and others that will delude like Darko Pancev and Salvatore Schillaci; Inter ended the season second behind AC Milan coached by Fabio Capello.

In the following season Inter acquired from Ajax Wim Jonk and Dennis Bergkamp that, with 8 goals in the competition, led Inter to their second victory in UEFA Cup despite the worst result in club history in Serie A.

With Massimo Moratti's takeover from Ernesto Pellegrini in 1995, Inter twice broke the world record transfer fee in this period (£19.5 million for Ronaldo from Barcelona in 1997 and £31 million for Christian Vieri from Lazio two years later).{{Cite news |last=Smyth |first=Rob |date=17 September 2016 |title=Ronaldo at 40: Il Fenomeno's legacy as greatest ever No 9, despite dodgy knees |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/sep/17/ronaldo-40-birthday-brazil-greatest-ever-striker |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180907161434/https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/sep/17/ronaldo-40-birthday-brazil-greatest-ever-striker |archive-date=7 September 2018 |access-date=7 September 2018 |work=The Guardian}}

Among Moratti first acquisitions in 1995 there were Javier Zanetti from Banfield, that will stay at Inter until 2014 with a record of 858 game played and with a record 13 season as a captain, Paul Ince from Manchester United and Roberto Carlos from Palmeiras that will be sold the next season to Real Madrid with many regrets and recriminations from fans.

However, the 1990s remained the only decade in Inter's history, alongside the 1940s, in which they did not win a single Serie A championship. This persistent lack of success led to poor relations between the fanbase and the chairman, the managers, and even some individual players.

Moratti later became a target of the fans, especially when he sacked the much-loved coach Luigi Simoni after a few games into the 1998–99 season, five days after Inter have defeated Real Madrid 3–1 at San Siro in Champions League group stage with two goals from Roberto Baggio, and having just received the Italian manager of the year award for 1998 the day before being dismissed.

That season despite 4 coaches changes Inter reached Champions League quarter Finals when it will be eliminated from Manchester United that would go on to win the trophy that year; Inter failed to qualify for any European competition for the first time in seven years, finishing in eighth place.

In the previous seasons in 1996–1997 Inter reached for third time Uefa Cup final losing this time at penalty in Giuseppe Meazza against Schalke 04 with Roy Hodgson that resigned shortly afterwards, instead in 1997–1998 under Simoni Inter had won his third UEFA Cup defending in Paris final Lazio 3–0 with goals from Ivan Zamorano, Zanetti and Ronaldo, and nearly won Serie A title, with many controversial referee decisions culminated in the decisive match against Juventus in Turin with Inter behind only 1 point with 4 games left, when referee didn't concede a penalty on Ronaldo and after few seconds conceded a penalty for Juventus, that generated a turmoil on the pitch and a big scandal, with president Moratti that left the building shortly afterwards.

The following season, 1999–2000, Moratti appointed former Juventus manager Marcello Lippi, and signed players such as Angelo Peruzzi, Laurent Blanc, Clarence Seedorf from Real Madrid and also Vieri and Jugović and sold other important players like Diego Simeone, Youri Djorkaeff and Gianluca Pagliuca. The team came close to their first domestic success since 1989 when they reached the Coppa Italia final, only to be defeated by Lazio, in a match remembered for the second severe injury to the right knee of Ronaldo, who was returning after five months of inactivity, and which would keep him out for more than a year and a half.

Inter's misfortunes continued the following season, losing the 2000 Supercoppa Italiana match against Lazio 4–3, after initially taking the lead through new signing Robbie Keane. They were also eliminated in the preliminary round of the Champions League by Swedish club Helsingborg, with Álvaro Recoba missing a crucial late penalty. Lippi was sacked after only a single game of the new season following Inter's first ever Serie A defeat to Reggina. Marco Tardelli, chosen to replace Lippi, failed to improve results, and is remembered by Inter fans as the manager who lost 6–0 in the city derby against Milan.

In 2002 with new coach Hector Cuper, the acquisition of the second most expensive goalkeeper in the world at that time Francesco Toldo and the return after injury of Ronaldo in pair with Vieri, not only did Inter manage to make it to the UEFA Cup semi-finals, but were also only 45 minutes away from capturing the Scudetto when they needed to maintain their one-goal advantage away to Lazio. Inter were 2–1 up after only 24 minutes. Lazio equalised during first half injury time, and then scored two more goals by Simeone and Simone Inzaghi in the second half to secure victory that saw Juventus win the championship, Roma ended second and Inter third.

In July 2023 Inter sold for 50 million € goalkeeper Andre Onana to Manchester United, acquired the prior season for free, like Hakan Calhanoglu in 2021, Henrikh Mkhitaryan in 2022 and Marcus Thuram in 2023.

In August 2023 Inter added to the squad also Benjamin Pavard (30 million €) and Yann Sommer (6,9 million €) both from Bayern Munich.

One of the founders of Inter, a painter named Giorgio Muggiani, was responsible for the design of the first Inter logo in 1908.{{sfn|Galasso|2015|p=241}} The first design incorporated the letters "FCIM" in the centre of a series of circles that formed the badge of the club.{{sfn|Galasso|2015|p=241}} The basic elements of the design have remained constant even as finer details have been modified over the years. Starting from the 1999–2000 season, the original club crest was reduced in size, to create space for the addition of the club's name and foundation year at the upper and lower part of the logo respectively.

In 2007, the logo was returned to the pre-1999–2000 era. It was given a more modern look with a smaller Scudetto star and lighter colour scheme. This version was used until July 2014, when the club decided to undertake a rebranding.{{Cite web |title=Nerazzurri rebranding: new logo, same Inter |url=http://www.inter.it/en/news/45908 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140711202430/http://www.inter.it/en/news/45908 |archive-date=11 July 2014 |access-date=21 July 2014 |website=Inter.it}} The most significant difference between the current and the previous logo is the omission of the star from other media except match kits.{{Cite web |title=Inter rebranding in detail |url=http://www.inter.it/en/news/45909 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140727003155/http://www.inter.it/en/news/45909 |archive-date=27 July 2014 |access-date=21 July 2014 |website=Inter.it}}

Since its founding in 1908, Inter have almost always worn black and blue stripes, earning them the nickname Nerazzurri. According to the tradition, the colours were adopted to represent the nocturnal sky: in fact, the club was established on the night of 9 March, at 23:30; moreover, blue was chosen by Giorgio Muggiani because he considered it to be the opposite colour to red, worn by the Milan Cricket and Football Club rivals.{{Cite news |date=24 June 2007 |title=9 marzo 1908, 43 milanisti fondano l'Inter |url=http://www.corriere.it/vivimilano/speciali/inter/index.shtml |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071204103002/http://www.corriere.it/vivimilano/speciali/inter/index.shtml |archive-date=4 December 2007 |access-date=23 October 2007 |publisher=ViviMilano.it}}{{Cite news |date=25 July 2007 |title=AC Milan vs. Inter Milan |url=http://www.footballderbies.com/honours/index.php?id=30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110913000901/http://www.footballderbies.com/honours/index.php?id=30 |archive-date=13 September 2011 |access-date=18 May 2008 |publisher=FootballDerbies.com}}

During the 1928–29 season, however, Inter were forced by Fascist regime to abandon their black and blue uniforms. In 1928, Inter's name and philosophy made the ruling Fascist Party uneasy; as a result, during the same year the 20-year-old club was merged with Unione Sportiva Milanese: the new club was named Società Sportiva Ambrosiana after the patron saint of Milan.{{Cite web |title=Emeroteca Coni |url=http://emeroteca.coni.it/?q=node/6&f=822&p=1 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120305065852/http://emeroteca.coni.it/?q=node%2F6&f=822&p=1 |archive-date=5 March 2012 |access-date=7 January 2013 |publisher=Emeroteca.coni.it}} The flag of Milan (the red cross on white background) replaced the traditional black and blue.{{Cite news |date=24 June 2007 |title=Ambrosiana S.S 1928 |url=http://www.toffs.com/icat/ambrosiana |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071020042913/http://www.toffs.com/icat/ambrosiana |archive-date=20 October 2007 |access-date=23 October 2007 |publisher=Toffs.com}} In 1929, the black-and-blue jerseys were restored, and after World War II, when the Fascists had fallen from power, the club reverted to their original name. In 2008, Inter celebrated their centenary with a red cross on their away shirt. The cross is reminiscent of the flag of their city, and they continue to use the pattern on their third kit.

The symbol is present on the coat of arms of the House of Sforza (which ruled over Italy from Milan during the Renaissance period), the city of Milan, the historical Duchy of Milan (a 400-year state of the Holy Roman Empire) and Insubria (a historical region the city of Milan falls within). For the 2010–11 season, Inter's away kit featured the snake.

The team's stadium is the 75,923 seat San Siro, officially known as the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza after the former player who represented for 14 seasons Inter and for two Milan. The more commonly used name, San Siro, is the name of the district where it is located. San Siro has been the home of Milan since 1926, when it was privately built by funding from Milan's chairman at the time, Piero Pirelli. Construction was performed by 120 workers, and took {{frac|13|1|2}} months to complete. The stadium was owned by the club until it was sold to the city in 1935, and since 1947 it has been shared with Inter, when they were accepted as joint tenant.

The first game played at the stadium was on 19 September 1926, when Inter beat Milan 6–3 in a friendly match. Milan played its first league game in San Siro on 19 September 1926, losing 1–2 to Sampierdarenese. From an initial capacity of 35,000 spectators, the stadium has undergone several major renovations. A major structural renovation was made for the 2016 UEFA Champions League Final while another one took place in late 2021 to host the UEFA Nations League final. The stadium is going to be refurbished again in time for Milano Cortina 2026.{{Cite web |date=4 April 2022 |title=Viceministro Morelli: "Sul nuovo San Siro avrebbero dovuto decidere prima" |url=https://www.90min.com/it/posts/viceministro-morelli-dichiarazioni-san-siro-nuovo-stadio-inter-milan |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220429201727/https://www.90min.com/it/posts/viceministro-morelli-dichiarazioni-san-siro-nuovo-stadio-inter-milan |archive-date=29 April 2022 |access-date=30 April 2022}}

Based on the English model for stadiums, San Siro is specifically designed for football matches, as opposed to many multi-purpose stadiums used in Serie A. It is therefore renowned in Italy for its atmosphere during matches, owing to the closeness of the stands to the pitch.

Since 2012, various proposals and projects by Massimo Moratti have alternated regarding a possible construction of a new Inter stadium.

Inter is the second most supported club in Italy, according to an August 2024 research by Ipsos.{{Cite news |date=6 September 2024 |title=Serie A, la classifica dei tifosi in Italia: Juve al top, l'Inter allunga sul Milan |url=https://www.calcioefinanza.it/2024/08/13/serie-a-squadre-con-piu-tifosi-in-italia-classifica/#:~:text=Quali%20sono%20le%20squadre%20con,%2C%20quando%20erano%2024.480.000. |language=it}} In the early years (until the First World War), Inter fans from the city of Milan were typically middle class, while Milan fans were typically working class. During Massimo Moratti's ownership, Inter fans were considered to be on the moderate left. At the same time, during Silvio Berlusconi's reign, Milan fans were viewed as belonging to the centre-right.

The traditional ultras group of Inter is Boys San; which are one of the oldest Italian ultras groups, being founded in 1969. Politically, one group (Irriducibili) of Inter Ultras are right-wing and this group has relations with the Lazio ultras. As well as the main group (apolitical) of Boys San, there are five more significant groups: Viking (apolitical), Irriducibili (right-wing), Ultras (apolitical), Brianza Alcoolica (apolitical) and Imbastisci (left-wing).

Inter's most vocal fans gather in the Curva Nord, or north curve of the San Siro. This longstanding tradition has led to the Curva Nord being synonymous with the club's most die-hard supporters, who unfurl banners and wave flags in support of their team. Throughout 2024, the Curva Nord (labelled as the "Curva Nord Milano") have collaborated with rap duo ¥$ (composed of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign) on multiple occasions, appearing as a choir on the chart-topping hit song "Carnival" (alongside rapping on its chorus) featuring Playboi Carti and Rich the Kid and on the ¥$ remix of "Like That" featuring only Future and record producer Metro Boomin (Kendrick Lamar would not appear on the remixed version of the song).{{Cite web |date=June 17, 2024 |title=Kanye West nel nuovo album Vultures 1 campiona i cori della curva degli ultras dell'Inter | Sky TG24 |url=https://www.tg24.sky.it/spettacolo/musica/2024/02/13/kanye-west-inter}}{{Cite magazine |last=Saponara |first=Michael |date=2024-04-22 |title=Ye Explains How His Remix of Drake Diss Track 'Like That' Happened |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/kanye-west-drake-diss-like-that-remix-how-it-happened-1235662399/ |access-date=2024-06-17 |magazine=Billboard |language=en-US}}

Inter have several rivalries, two of which are highly significant in Italian football; firstly, they participate in the intracity Derby della Madonnina with Milan; the rivalry has existed ever since Inter splintered off from Milan in 1908. The name of the derby refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary atop the Milan Cathedral. The match usually creates a lively atmosphere, with numerous (often humorous or offensive) banners unfolded before the match. Flares are commonly present, but they also led to the abandonment of the second leg of the 2004–05 Champions League quarter-final matchup between Milan and Inter on 12 April, after a flare thrown from the crowd by an Inter supporter struck Milan keeper Dida on the shoulder.{{Cite news |date=25 July 2007 |title=Milan game ended by crowd trouble |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4432047.stm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060205192237/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4432047.stm |archive-date=5 February 2006 |access-date=23 October 2007 |publisher=BBC}}

The other principal rivalry is with Juventus; matches between the two clubs are known as the Derby d'Italia. Up until the 2006 Italian football scandal, which saw Juventus relegated, the two were the only Italian clubs never to have played below Serie A. In the 2000s, Inter developed a rivalry with Roma, who finished as runners-up to Inter in all but one of Inter's five Scudetto-winning seasons between 2005–06 and 2009–10. The two sides have also contested in five Coppa Italia finals and four Supercoppa Italiana finals since 2006. Other clubs, like Atalanta and Napoli, are also considered among their rivals.{{Cite web |title=INTER: gli Ultras avversari – Rangers 1976 Empoli Ultras |url=http://www.rangers.it/avversari/inter.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130603004453/http://www.rangers.it/avversari/inter.html |archive-date=3 June 2013 |access-date=7 January 2013 |publisher=Rangers.it}} Their supporters collectively go by Interisti, or Nerazzurri.{{Cite news |title=INTERISTI |url=http://www.inter.it/en/interisti_new |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150909025524/http://www.inter.it/en/interisti_new |archive-date=9 September 2015 |access-date=22 September 2015 |publisher=FC Internazionale Milano}}

Inter have won 37 domestic trophies, including the Serie A twenty times, the Coppa Italia nine times and the Supercoppa Italiana eight times. From 2006 to 2010, the club won five successive league titles, equalling the all-time record before 2017, when Juventus won their sixth successive league title. They have won the UEFA Champions League three times: two back-to-back in 1964 and 1965 and then another in 2010; the last completed an unprecedented Italian treble with the Coppa Italia and the Scudetto. The club has also won three UEFA Europa League, two Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup.

Inter has never been relegated from the top flight of Italian football in its entire existence. It is the sole club to have competed in Serie A and its predecessors in every season since its debut in 1909.

Helenio Herrera had the longest reign as Inter coach, with nine years (eight consecutive) in charge, and is the most successful coach in Inter history with three Scudetti, two European Cups, and two Intercontinental Cup wins. José Mourinho, who was appointed on 2 June 2008, completed his first season in Italy by winning the Serie A title and the Supercoppa Italiana; in his second season he won the first "treble" in Italian history: the Serie A, Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League.

In 2010 Football Money League (2008–09 season), the normalized revenue of €196.5 million were divided up between matchday (14%, €28.2 million), broadcasting (59%, €115.7 million, +7%, +€8 million) and commercial (27%, €52.6 million, +43%). Kit sponsors Nike and Pirelli contributed €18.1 million and €9.3 million respectively to commercial revenues, while broadcasting revenues were boosted €1.6 million (6%) by Champions League distribution. Deloitte expressed the idea that issues in Italian football, particularly matchday revenue issues, were holding Inter back compared to other big European clubs, and developing their own stadia would result in Serie A clubs being more competitive on the world stage.{{Cite web |date=March 2010 |title=Spanish Masters Football Money League |url=https://www.deloitte.co.uk/registrationforms/pdf/DeloitteFML2010.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130511013626/https://www.deloitte.co.uk/registrationforms/pdf/DeloitteFML2010.pdf |archive-date=11 May 2013 |access-date=7 January 2013 |publisher=Deloitte |page=15 |department=Sports Business Group}}

In the 2009–10 season, the revenue of Inter was boosted by the sales of Ibrahimović, the treble and the release clause of coach José Mourinho.FC Internazionale Milano S.p.A. bilancio (financial report and accounts) on 30 June 2010, PDF purchased from C.C.I.A.A. (in Italian) According to the normalized figures by Deloitte in their 2011 Football Money League, in the 2009–10 season, the revenue had increased €28.3 million (14%) to €224.8 million. The ratio of matchday, broadcasting and commercial in the adjusted figures was 17%:62%:21%.

For the 2010–11 season, Serie A clubs started negotiating club TV rights collectively rather than individually.{{Cite news |date=21 February 2009 |title=Premier League v Serie A: TV money |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/7903417.stm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181106094744/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/7903417.stm |archive-date=6 November 2018 |access-date=6 November 2018 |work=BBC Sport}} This was predicted to result in lower broadcasting revenues for big clubs such as Juventus and Inter, with smaller clubs gaining from the loss. Eventually the result included an extraordinary income of €13 million from RAI. In 2012 Football Money League (2010–11 season), the normalized revenue was €211.4 million. The ratio of matchday, broadcasting and commercial in the adjusted figures was 16%:58%:26%.

In 2015, Inter and Roma were the only two Italian clubs that were sanctioned by the UEFA due to their breaking of UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations,{{Cite web |date=8 May 2015 |title=Settlement agreements: details |url=http://www.uefa.org/protecting-the-game/club-licensing-and-financial-fair-play/news/newsid=2244685.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160203023442/http://www.uefa.org/protecting-the-game/club-licensing-and-financial-fair-play/news/newsid=2244685.html |archive-date=3 February 2016 |access-date=16 January 2016 |publisher=UEFA}} which was followed by AC Milan which was once barred from returning to European competition in 2018. As a probation to avoid further sanction, Inter agreed to have a three-year aggregate break-even from 2015 to 2018, with the 2015–16 season being allowed to have a net loss of a maximum of €30 million, followed by break-even in the 2016–17 season and onwards. Inter was also fined €6 million plus an additional €14 million in probation.

Inter also made a financial trick in the transfer market in mid-2015, in which Stevan Jovetić and Miranda were signed by Inter on temporary deals plus an obligation to sign outright in 2017, making their cost less in the loan period. Moreover, despite heavily investing in new signings, namely Geoffrey Kondogbia and Ivan Perišić, signings which potentially increased the cost in amortization, Inter also sold Mateo Kovačić for €29 million, making a windfall profit.{{Cite book |title=FC Internazionale Milano S.p.A. bilancio 2015-06-30 |date=2015 |publisher=Italian C.C.I.A.A. |language=it}} In November 2018, documents from Football Leaks further revealed that the loan signings such as Xherdan Shaqiri in January 2015, was in fact had inevitable conditions to trigger the outright purchase.{{Cite news |date=4 November 2018 |title=Inter by-passed FFP on Shaqiri |url=https://www.football-italia.net/130231/inter-passed-ffp-shaqiri |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181106132631/https://www.football-italia.net/130231/inter-passed-ffp-shaqiri |archive-date=6 November 2018 |access-date=6 November 2018 |work=Football Italia |location=London}}
