Italian football clubs in international competitions


have entered European association football competitions since season 1955–56, when Milan took part in European Cup competition. Nowadays, Italian football is the fourth force in Europe according to UEFA ranking, following the Spanish, English and German football. Italian clubs have also entered several times worldwide football competitions since the 1963 Intercontinental Cup.
The golden age of Italian football was mostly the decade of 1990s, when Italian clubs dominated in UEFA competitions, winning the most titles and holding steady the first place in UEFA ranking. The last years, the force of Italian football has decreased, mainly after the Calciopoli scandal.
So far, the Italian clubs have won 12 times the Champions League/European Cup, 9 times the Europa League/UEFA Cup, 7 times the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, 9 times the UEFA Super Cup, 4 times the UEFA Intertoto Cup, 1 time the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, 7 times the Intercontinental Cup, and 2 times the FIFA Club World Cup.

Full European record

Note: Clubs in bold won the respective season's competition.

UEFA Champions League/European Cup

The competition was named European Cup until 1991–92, until it switched its name to UEFA Champions League.

UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup/Inter-Cities Fairs Cup

While the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup is recognised as the predecessor to the UEFA Cup, it was not organised by UEFA. Consequently, UEFA does not consider clubs' records in the Fairs Cup to be part of their European record. The competition was named UEFA Cup from 1971–72 until 2008–09, than it switched name to UEFA Europa League.

UEFA Cup Winners' Cup

UEFA Intertoto Cup

Although the tournament was founded in 1961–62, it was only taken over by UEFA in 1995.

Qualification to European competitions

Seven teams from Italy qualify for European competitions.
The Serie A winners and clubs finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th qualify to the UEFA Champions League group stage, while three other teams qualify to the UEFA Europa League. For Europa League qualification, the 6th placed team starts in the second qualifying round, while the 5th placed team and Coppa Italia winners start in the group stage.
