The Serie A, officially known as Serie A Enilive in Italy and Serie A Made in Italy abroad for sponsorship reasons, is a professional league competition for football clubs located at the top of the Italian football league system.

It has been operating as a round-robin tournament for over ninety years since the 1929–30 season.
