The Supercoppa Italiana ({{langx|en|Italian Super Cup}}) is an annual super cup tournament in Italian football. Founded in 1988 as a two-team competition, it has featured four teams since 2023 (the winners and runners-up of the previous season's Serie A and Coppa Italia).{{cite news |date=13 March 2023 |title=Lega Serie A agree new format for Supercoppa from 2024 |url=https://football-italia.net/lega-serie-a-confirms-new-format-for-supercoppa-from-2024/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230501213716/https://football-italia.net/lega-serie-a-confirms-new-format-for-supercoppa-from-2024/ |archive-date=1 May 2023 |access-date=28 April 2023 |website=football-italia.net}} Before the format change, the match was exclusively contested between the winners of the Serie A and Coppa Italia titles. Under the new rules, if a team were to be occupying more than one of the four spots, that spot would then be filled by the third and/or fourth teams in the Serie A standings.{{Cite web |title=Formula and rules|url=https://www.legaseriea.it/it/media/supercoppa/formula-and-rules-6ofg9dm |access-date=2 June 2025|website=legaseriea.it}}
It was originally the opening match of the new season, played at the home stadium of the previous season's Serie A champions. Since 2018, the competition has been held during the winter months, and is mainly hosted internationally. Juventus is the most successful club with nine titles. They have met Lazio on five occasions, making it the most frequent matchup in tournament history.
History
When the Supercoppa first started it was primarily held in Italy. The tournament went abroad for the first time in 1993, when Washington, D.C. hosted a match between AC Milan and Torino.{{Cite web |title=1993 Italian Super Cup: all details |url=http://www.acmilan.com/en/club/palmares/1993-italian-super-cup |access-date=2025-06-02 |website=AC Milan}} There would not be another international contest until 2002, when the Supercoppa went to Tripoli.{{Cite web |title=Supercoppa 2002 - Stadiums |url=https://www.worldfootball.net/venues/ita-supercoppa-2002/ |access-date=2 June 2025 |website=WorldFootball.net}} The following year, in 2003, New York City hosted the tournament.{{Cite web |title=Juve in USA {{!}} Super Cup 2003 |url=https://www.juventus.com/en/news/articles/juve-in-usa-super-cup-2003 |access-date=2025-06-02 |website=Juventus FC}}
Since 2009, It has primarily been hosted abroad, with 11 of the 16 matches being played outside of Italy. China has hosted the tournament four times during this period, while Qatar has hosted it twice. Saudi Arabia has hosted the Supercoppa Italiana more than any other country, having held it on five occasions to date.
In 2018, the Lega Serie A signed a deal with the General Sports Authority that would see Saudi Arabia host three of the next five Supercoppa Italiana.{{Cite web |date=7 June 2018 |title=Saudi Arabia set to host three of next five Italian Super Cups |url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/italian-supercoppa/story/3519067/saudi-arabia-set-to-host-three-of-next-five-italian-super-cups |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200929004926/https://www.espn.com/soccer/italian-supercoppa/story/3519067/saudi-arabia-set-to-host-three-of-next-five-italian-super-cups |archive-date=29 September 2020 |access-date=22 July 2020 |website=ESPN}} The tournament then returned to Italy for two years in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, when the only match to date without spectators was held at Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore in 2020. The cup returned to Saudi Arabia once more in 2022, where it will continue to be held until 2029 under a new six-year deal.{{Cite web |last=Pennington |first=Adrian |date=31 January 2025 |title=Kingdom come: Alamiya Media on bringing the Supercoppa Italiana and Supercopa de España to Saudi Arabia |url=https://www.svgeurope.org/blog/headlines/kingdom-come-alamiya-media-on-bringing-the-supercoppa-italiana-and-supercopa-de-espana-to-saudi-arabia/ |access-date=2 June 2025 |website=SVG Europe}}
Notable occurrences
The Serie A title and Coppa Italia have been won by the same team eight times. As a result, Coppa Italia runners-up instead competed in the subsequent Supercoppa, per Lega Serie A rules. This occurred five times with Juventus (1995, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018), twice with Inter Milan (2006 and 2010), and once with Lazio (2000). Since 2023, Coppa Italia runners-up automatically qualify for the tournament.
AC Milan became the first Coppa Italia runners-up to win the Supercoppa Italiana after defeating Juventus on penalties in 2016.{{cite web |date=23 December 2016 |title=Milan win Supercoppa Italiana in shootout triumph over Juventus |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/dec/23/milan-juventus-supercoppa-italiana-match-report |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230120231652/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/dec/23/milan-juventus-supercoppa-italiana-match-report |archive-date=20 January 2023 |access-date=4 January 2017 |work=The Guardian}} They later made history again in 2025, becoming the first Serie A runners-up to win the competition by defeating Inter Milan, in just the second year of the tournament's new four-team format.{{cite web |title=Milan told to stay grounded after Supercoppa win |url=https://www.beinsports.com/en-au/football/serie-a/articles/milan-told-to-stay-grounded-after-supercoppa-win-2025-01-10 |website=beIN SPORTS |access-date=2 June 2025 |date=10 January 2025}}
