Exactly how many trophies has Inter Milan won in its storied existence? In this article, GypsyGoal takes you on a deep dive through Inter’s domestic glory, European conquests, and global honors — counting, comparing, and celebrating the silverware that cements their status among the giants of world football.
Domestic Dominance: Inter’s Italian Trophy Haul
In Italy, Inter has long been a heavyweight. Their success spans three major domestic competitions: Serie A, Coppa Italia, and the Supercoppa Italiana. As of the latest records:
| Competition | Titles Won | Notes |
| Serie A (Italian championship) | 20 | The 20th came in the 2023–24 season, ending a title drought. |
| Coppa Italia | 9 | Inter has lifted the Italian Cup across many eras,. |
| Supercoppa Italiana | 8 | Victories include 1989, 2005, 2006, and a string in 2021–2023. |
That totals 37 major domestic trophies. These triumphs alone place Inter among Italy’s all-time best sides.
A few remark-worthy notes:
- Inter achieved five consecutive Serie A titles.
- The 20th Scudetto arrived in April 2024 with a victory over AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina.
- Their consistency across decades is unmatched: Inter is the only club to have won at least one trophy in every decade since their founding.
Thus on home soil, Inter’s record is formidable — but their reach extends far beyond Italy.
European Glory: Conquering the Continent
Inter’s international résumé is rich. In UEFA and related competitions, they have notched up multiple titles. Here’s the breakdown:
| Competition | Titles Won | Key Moments / Season(s) | Runner-Up Appearances |
| European Cup / UEFA Champions League | 3 | 1963–64, 1964–65, 2009–10 | 4 finals (1966–67, 1971–72, 2022–23, 2024–25) |
| UEFA Cup / Europa League | 3 | 1990–91, 1993–94, 1997–98 | Runners-up: 1996–97, 2019–20 |
| Note: UEFA Super Cup | 0 (but 1 runner-up) | — | 2010 final lost |
Some highlights worth remembering:
- Inter became the first Italian club to win back-to-back European Cups (now Champions League) in 1964 and 1965.
- Their 2010 Champions League triumph was part of the historic treble (Serie A + Coppa Italia + Champions League) under José Mourinho.
- The club’s European successes confirm their status as one of Italy’s continental powerhouses.
Thus, in European and pan-UEFA competitions, Inter has amassed 6 major titles.
Global Success: Intercontinental & Club World Titles
Beyond Europe, Inter Milan has claimed trophies on the world stage:
- Intercontinental Cup: 2 titles (1964, 1965) — the classic European vs. South American champion showdown.
- FIFA Club World Cup: 1 title (2010) — secured as part of their treble season.
These bring Inter’s worldwide honors to 3 trophies.
Putting It All Together: Total Trophies Won
Now, the big tally. If we sum Inter’s major domestic, continental, and global trophies:
- Domestic: 37
- European / UEFA: 6
- Worldwide: 3
That gives a total of 46 official major trophies (recognized by domestic federations, UEFA, and FIFA). Many reputable sources and statistics trackers agree on this number as the standard count.
Note: Some sources (especially fan pages or aggregated honors lists) may include friendly trophies, minor cups, or invitational tournaments — inflating the “all trophies” number into the 48-50 range. But for major, sanctioned competitions, 46 is broadly accepted.
Milestones, Records & Tri, here are standout facts tied to those trophies:
- Inter is the only Italian club never to have been relegated to Serie B — always competed in Italy’s top tier.
- The treble in 2010 remains the only one by an Italian club to date.
- Javier Zanetti holds the record for most appearances for Inter in all competitions (858).
- During 2005–2010, Inter won seven straight seasons with at least one trophy.
Why There’s Confusion Around the Count
Some fans see “how many trophies has Inter Milan won” answered with different totals: 45, 48, or even 50. Why the discrepancy?
- Inclusion of Friendly / Minor Cups: Some sources add preseason trophies, friendly competitions, regional trophies etc.
- Counting methodology: Whether to include runners-up, qualifiers, youth titles or defunct competitions.
- Updating after new wins: With the 2023–24 Serie A title, any stale list might omit that.
- Official vs. unofficial: Only major, recognized competitions are generally accepted in historical counts.
GypsyGoal sticks with 46 major trophies as the clean, historically sound benchmark.
