Designed as an equivalent to the Supercoppa Italiana in men's football, the competition began in 1997 with the first game played by Modena Femminile and Aircago Agliana.[2]
Torres holds the record for most titles overall, having won seven times.[2]
History
editThe super cup was born in 1997 by initiative of the president of the women's division of LND, Natalina Ceraso Levati, a former soccer player;[3] the first edition were played in Stadio Belvedere between Modena Femminile and Aircago Agliana and saw the now disbanded team from Modena beat the opponent 3-1 and thus win the first Super Cup.[2]
The following two years the cup was conquered by A.C.F. Milan,[4] after them, from 2000 to 2013, Torres won the title seven times. These victories were interspersed with wins by other teams: CF Bardolino (2001, 2005, 2007, 2008), Foroni Verona (2002, 2003) and Fiammamonza (2006).
After Torres's dissolution, the tournament was won for four times in a row by Brescia. In 2018 the newborn team Fiorentina[5] won and in 2019 another newborn team, Juventus won the tournament.[6]
By the following edition a new format was adopted, with four participating teams and a final four with two semi-finals and a final on neutral venues.[7] This format was used only for two edition and in 2022 we returned to the previous format.[8]

In 2022, Roma became new super cup champions, ending Juventus's winning strike (three wins from 2019 to 2021).[9]
Winners
editNotes
edit- ^ The match should have pitted Foroni Verona, winner of the 2003-2004 Serie A, against Torres, winner of the 2003-2004 Italian Cup. However, a few weeks before the race, the Veronese club renounced its membership in the championship due to economic problems, also refusing to restart from a lower division and declaring bankruptcy. It was thus decided that ACF Milan, third in the previous championship, would compete in the unusual edition of the Super Cup.
