The Supercoppa Italiana (Italian Super Cup) is a pre-season football competition held the week before the season begins in Italy every year. It is contested by the winners of the Serie A and the Coppa Italia in the previous season, as a curtain raiser to the new season.
It is usually played at the home of the Serie A champions. In 1993 and 2003 it was held in the United States cities of Washington, D.C. and East Rutherford, New Jersey (New York market). The 2002 final was played in the Libyan capital Tripoli. Three of the past five games have been played in the Bird's Nest of Beijing, China.
If the same team wins both Serie A and Coppa Italia, then the Supercoppa is contested by the Serie A winner and the Coppa Italia runner-up. This has happened so far in 1995 and 2015 (Juventus), 2000 (Lazio), 2006 and 2010 (Inter).
Juventus hold the record for winning the cup the most times, winning it seven times since the competition began in 1988.
The 27th edition was played on 22 December 2014, featuring Chiellini and Pereyra failed to clinch the cup for Juventus. In round nine, Koulibaly scored for Napoli, while Padoin's shot was saved, giving Napoli its second title. Juventus was making a record 10th appearance. The two teams met in the Supercoppa Italiana for the third time, with Napoli now having a 2-1 edge. Coincidentally, Napoli's three total appearances have all been against Juventus.
