Italy: Clubs Ranked - 1960/61 to 2023/24

Like many countries, a few clubs dominate and Italy is no different. Three mainly take the spoils here and they are well known outside of the country due to success in Europe. 

The chart to the right shows domestic success (Ita) and with European glory added (Tot). Juventus is the most successful in both areas. 

So how do the points work? In the Serie A (Division 1) the top four are rewarded with 6, 3, 2 and 1. The Coppa Italia (Cup) 4 and 2 points for the finalists only. 

In Europe, the Champions League (European Cup) 8, 4 and two from the semi finals forward. The Europa League (UEFA Cup) got 6, 3 and 1. The new Conference League I added to the long defunct Cup Winner's Cup. They get 4 and 2 for the finalists. 

Serie A has Juventus at the top. It won the league consecutively from 2012 to 2020 inclusive of those dates. They have been dogged with scandal over the last few years over transfer dealings. For the years covered here, the two clubs with Milan in their name have tried to keep up but not quite.

The Coppa Italia is shared more evenly but Juventus still leads and won the 2024 competition. It also won four consecutive trophies from 2015. Roma is next, winning the cup five times in six years from 2003. Inter Milan won the cup in 2022 and 2023 but remains fourth. 

All put together, the clubs are below. The grand total is shown for each club, divided into regions with a ranking number (Rk) which gives their place compared to all the other clubs. 

The North West is the most successful with 65.7% of all points issued and the top three clubs. The Central region is next with South, North East and the islands of Sicily and Sardinia combined the lowest as one would expect.
