The first edition of Super Cup was held in 1922, but the second champions were not crowned until 1936. AS Roma and Juventus lead the way with nine wins. Roma has been to the most finals 15 times. And they are the current holder, as they beat Serie A champs Inter Milan three years running. The 2009-2010 Serie A season will start on August 23.
