1909 Italian Football Championship


The 1909 Italian Football Championship season was won by Pro Vercelli.
In this season, as in the previous one, two championships of Prima Categoria were played:
  1. Italian Championship, the main tournament where only Italian players were allowed to play; the winners would be proclaimed Campioni d'Italia
  2. Federal Championship, a secondary tournament where foreign players were also allowed to play; the winners would be proclaimed Campioni Federali
The winner of Italian Championship was Juventus. They won as a prize Coppa Buni.
The winner of Federal Championship was Pro Vercelli. They won as a prize Coppa Oberti.
However, the "spurious international teams", adversing the autarchical policy of the FIF, decided to withdraw from Italian Championship in order to make the Federal competition the most relevant tournament and to diminish the Italian one. The dissenters' strategy worked out: the failure of the Italian Championship won by Juventus forced the Federation to later recognized the Federal Champions of Pro Vercelli as "Campioni d'Italia 1909", disavowing the other tournament.
