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.

Associazione Sportiva Roma continued to trundle in the bigger clubs' wake, being unable to challenge for any trophies, and missing out on European qualification. New president Franco Sensi had won the battle to get the vacancy against Luciano Gaucci, who departed the club in a customary fit of rage. Sensi appointed Carlo Mazzone as coach, but the defensive-minded Mazzone did not have an easy baptism at Roma, the squad drawing 15 out of 34 matches in the league, which rendered missing out on Napoli's sixth place that guaranteed the UEFA Cup by a solitary point.

Associazione Calcio Milan returned to its winning ways with the appointment of Fabio Capello as the club's new manager during the 1991–92 season, following the departure of Arrigo Sacchi. Marco van Basten had his last season uninterrupted by injury, netting 25 goals, which was one of the main reasons Milan was able to overhaul Juventus to claim the Serie A title. Milan ran through entire the 34–game league season unbeaten, a rare feat in footballing history. The team's unbeaten run totalled 58 matches between 1991 and 1993, a record in Italian football, encompassing the next season as well. For their achievements, the 1991–92 Milan side received the nickname "Gli invincibili" in the media.

Juventus F.C. finished second in Serie A and reached the final of the Coppa Italia in this season.

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.

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.

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.

During 1994-95 season Football Club Internazionale Milano competed in Serie A, Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup.

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.

Unione Calcio Sampdoria was once again condemned to midfield mediocrity, despite the services of super striker Enrico Chiesa, who netted 22 goals in just 27 appearances. Sven-Göran Eriksson continued with an attacking style of play, leading to Sampdoria scoring 59 goals in 34 matches, only bettered by champions Milan and Lazio. The backside was the many conceded goals it led to, with even relegated Torino having a better defensive record than the Genua team. Playmaker duo Clarence Seedorf and Christian Karembeu had great seasons, both compensating for the losses of Jugović, Lombardo and David Platt in the summer. The duo caught the attention of Real Madrid, and moved to Spain, with Karembeu staying put until the end of the 1996–97 season.
