During 1994-95 season Football Club Internazionale Milano competed in Serie A, Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup.
In the summer of 1994, striker Marco Delvecchio rejoined the club while Gianluca Pagliuca moved from Sampdoria for a then world record fee for a goalkeeper of £7 million. Ottavio Bianchi was appointed as first team coach, replacing Gianpiero Marini. Unlike the previous season, Inter Milan did not win any trophies but regained some stability with a sixth place in the domestic league competition. Inter also won the Derby della Madonnina in the league since 1990–91 Season. However, the most significant event of the season saw Massimo Moratti, son of Angelo former President from May 1955 to May 1968 during La Grande Inter era, take charge of the club on 18 February 1995, which reignited the club as a force on the transfer market. The summer of 1995 saw English international Paul Ince and Brazilian starlet Roberto Carlos being bought. The 1994-95 season would be the final at the club for Dennis Bergkamp, Wim Jonk and Rubén Sosa.

The 1994–95 Serie A was won by Juventus, who finished 10 points ahead of their nearest rivals Parma and Lazio.
S.S. Lazio finished in second place in Serie A this season and reached the quarter-final of the UEFA Cup.
S.S. Lazio finished in fifth in Serie A and reached the quarter-final in the Coppa Italia. Prior to the season had Lazio with new Chairman Sergio Cragnotti made three important signings, with Paul Gascoigne, Giuseppe Signori and Aron Winter all joining the club.
S.S. Lazio finished in 10th in Serie A and reached the round of 16 in the Coppa Italia this season. The most significant event was that Sergio Cragnotti, took charge of the club on 20 February 1992, which reignited the club as a force on the transfer market.
Juventus F.C. finished second in Serie A this season.
Parma Associazione Calcio once again troubled the top teams in both Italy and Europe, but had to settle for just the curtain-raising UEFA Super Cup as silverware in its ambitious ascent towards the top of Italian football. It almost repeated the victory in the 1992–93 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup by reaching another final, but lost out to Arsenal.
SSC Napoli finished a creditable fourth in its first season without the club legend Diego Maradona in the squad. With the Argentinian having failed a doping test in the spring 1991, Napoli was facing an uphill battle, but coped remarkably well, actually improving on its fortunes from Maradona's final season with the club.
Parma Associazione Calcio eased through the infamous second season following promotion, and ended it in style by winning Coppa Italia, the club's first ever significant silverware. That also qualified the club for the 1992–93 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, a tournament it went on to win. Its inaugural European adventure was in the autumn of 1991, when it lost to CSKA Sofia of Bulgaria in the first round of the UEFA Cup. It did not improve on 1991's famous fifth place in Serie A as rookies, but only slipped one position, with the defence playing as well as ever. The lack of a top scorer cost Parma the chance to fight Torino for third in the championship.
F.C. Internazionale Milano returned to the top echelon of the domestic scene, finishing second to city rivals A.C. Milan in the championship. The relatively narrow four-points margin between the two sides, was explained by Milan drawing several matches when it had already clinched the title, so the result was a lot closer than it was during the course of the season.
Juventus Football Club won the league title for the first time in nine years. The Scudetto was won in the wake of defender Andrea Fortunato's death from cancer during the course of the season. The title was dedicated to the 23-year-old, who had been established in the starting line-up before he got sick.
Parma Associazione Calcio had one of its most successful seasons ever, thanks to a third-place finish in Serie A with the same points as runner-up Lazio, plus a victory against Juventus in the UEFA Cup Final. It also reached the Coppa Italia Final, where they were defeated by Juventus.
Associazione Calcio Milan lost their supremacy of Italian football, finishing just fourth in Serie A, also losing the Champions League final to Ajax. Marco van Basten was forced to end his career due to an ankle injury, and the lack of goals scored was a main difference between Milan and champions Juventus, and even though Milan scored more goals than in 1993–94, the defensive line was not as unassailable as the season before.
Associazione Sportiva Roma was rejuvenated in Carlo Mazzone's second season as coach, much due to Abel Balbo being the goalscorer it had lacked for the previous years. The summer signings of 1994 helped, with internationally recognized players Jonas Thern and Daniel Fonseca joining the club from rivals Napoli. Also Francesco Moriero became a household player since he proved his worth in the club, recently coming from Cagliari.
S.S.C. Napoli performed about the same as it had in the 1993-94 season, finishing seventh in the championship, but having a better domestic cup run. Napoli also reached the Last 16 of the UEFA Cup, where it lost to Eintracht Frankfurt. The squad had been depleted due to losses of several offensive key players in the seasons before, so seventh in the domestic league would normally have been regarded as a positive result, but it was only after Vujadin Boškov had been appointed to lead the team in place of Vincenzo Guerini that Napoli could stay well clear of the relegation zone. Brazilian signing André Cruz was crucial to the defense, and also showed unusual offensive skills for a central defender, scoring several goals. Fabio Cannavaro also had a spectacular season, which ended with Parma buying the defender.
Associazione Calcio Fiorentina returned to Serie A, following the 1993 relegation, and immediately established itself as a mid-table side once again. Portuguese playmaker Rui Costa and Brazilian World Champion defender Márcio Santos were the two main signings in the summer, and both of them were key players for the team. Rui Costa also established the special partnership with star striker Gabriel Batistuta that was going to be the key ingredient for the coming five years in Fiorentina's ascent towards the top of Italian football. Batistuta became league topscorer with 26 goals, many of them provided by Rui Costa's passes.
Unione Calcio Sampdoria spent the 1994-95 season mired in the midfield, since its remarkable offensive play from the 1993-94 season failed to occur. Despite this, it came close to another European final, but stumbled at Arsenal following penalties in the semi-finals. Following the end of the season, creative midfielders David Platt, Attilio Lombardo and Vladimir Jugović all left the club, bringing further uncertainty of the future direction of the club.
During the 1994–95 Italian football season, Brescia Calcio competed in the Serie A and their first season in the top flight since the 1992–93 season.
During the 1994–95 Italian football season, Calcio Padova competed in the Serie A and their first season in the top flight since the 1961–62 season.
In the 1994–95 season Cagliari Calcio is competing in Serie A and Coppa Italia.
