Supercoppa Italiana 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 American cities of Washington, D.C. and East Rutherford. The 2002 final was played in the Libyan capital Tripoli.

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 (Juventus), 2000 (Lazio) and 2006 (Inter).

Currently, A.C. Milan holds the record for winning the cup the most times, winning it five times since the competition began in 1988.

The 21st edition, played in August 2008, was won by Inter, Serie A champions, who defeated Coppa Italia winners Roma 6-5 in the penalty shoot-out after a 2-2 draw at the San Siro.

The 2009 Supercoppa Italiana will be a match that will be played by Serie A 2008–09 winners Internazionale and Coppa Italia 2008–09 winners S.S. Lazio.

The match will take place on 8 August 2009, and probably will take place in the Beijing National Stadium in China.
