The Coppa Italia, or 'Italian Cup', is Italy's premier annual domestic knockout football competition, currently organized by Lega Serie A. Juventus is the most successful club, boasting a record fifteen wins from twenty-two finals contested, closely followed by Roma and Inter Milan, each with nine titles.

The tournament's origins trace back to a turbulent start in 1921, with F.C. Vado winning the inaugural edition in 1922 amidst early organizational challenges and interruptions, notably during World War II, before it consistently resumed in 1958. Winners earn the prestigious "coccarda" (a national cockade) and secure direct qualification for both the UEFA Europa League league phase and the Supercoppa Italiana the following year. The competition primarily follows a single-leg knockout format, with the exception of two-legged semi-finals, determining a champion after extra time or a penalty shoot-out if necessary.
