The Italian Football Championship was the most senior football championship in Italy from the 1897/1898 season to the 1921/1922 season. In that last season, a concurrent championship, the Prima Divisione, was played by the richest clubs, which wanted to improve their income with a more elitarian league. The division system was generally adopted by FIGC in 1922, seven years before another reform which replaced the divisions with the series, creating the Serie A championship for the 1929/1930 season.
The championship, unlike Serie A was for most seasons, structured with many local groups. The winners of each of these groups went on to a playoff with the eventual winners being declared champions. Genoa CFC were declared the first champions after defeating Internazionale Torino in the final, 3-1 after extra time.
Statistics and records from the Italian Football Championship seasons are generally included with Serie A when talking about Serie A records as a whole.
