The 1922 Coppa Italia was the first edition of the national cup in Italian football. Thirty-seven team entered the tournament, which ran between 2 April and 16 July 1922 with Vado winning the final, the only national title in its history.
Proposals for an Italian football cup were made many times before WWI, without a tournament coming to pass. In 1921, when all major clubs resigned from the FIGC to establish the country's first football league, as a response the FIGC decided to create a cup competition to complement its championship.
The fixture assignments for the first Coppa Italia were difficult given the number of teams admitted to the tournament (37), which did not allow for a normal knockout format. As a result, it was necessary to award several teams with byes. Almost every team was from Northern Italy, with Livorno being the southernmost club allowed to participate.
With the victory of the outsider Vado which competed in the Promozione , the Ligurians became the first club to win the country's premier national cup. The club won the competition despite not playing in the top division; an achievement that has only ever been equalled on one other occasion in the competition's history, by Naples in the 1961–62 Coppa Italia.
The cup was not a distinguished tournament at the time, without the most prestigious teams and limited to Northern Italy, and many clubs involved in the championship forfeited their position in the cup to avoid disturbing their season.
After the reunification between the Football Association and the Football League, the cup did not take place again until the 1935-36 edition.
