Format
Coppa Italia is open to teams competing in Serie A (10 teams) and Serie B (16 teams) for a total of 26 participants. The teams are ordered based on their final league position in the previous season, with Serie A teams first followed by Serie B, and the team(s) promoted to Serie A above the team(s) relegated to Serie B. The order is used to arrange the teams into three pools of unequal sizes: 8, 14 and 4.
The tournament itself consists of five rounds plus a preliminary round. The last four teams participate in the preliminary round to compete in a single-leg knock-out with a predetermined match-up (23rd vs 26th and 24th vs 25th) for two spots in round 1. The middle 14 teams and the two winners of the preliminary round compete in round 1, consisting again of single-leg matches. In round 2, the 8 winners of round 1 meet the first 8 teams in single-leg matches to determine the quarter-finalists. The quarter- and semi-finals use a two-leg system, with home and away rounds, while the final is once again a single-leg match held on neutral ground.[1]

Notes
- All data (1974 to date) stored in paper reports at Fiammamonza's club headquarter.
- When previous FIGCF federation merged into FIGC, the 1986–87 edition was expected to start on 14 September 1986 with just 7 groups of 4 teams due to several withdrawals. Later on the cup was suspended because seasonal fixtures were plenty and the previous season's Serie A (ended on 7 July 1986) was unable to grant playable dates.
- Editions 1988/89 to 1998/99 had been published by "Annuario del calcio femminile 1999-2000" - Mariposa Editrice in Fornacette (Pisa), compiled by Luca Barboni and Gabriele Cecchi, November 1999.
