1994–95 Serie A team distribution

Two pieces of silverware were seized by Juventus, who won the Coppa Italia against Parma but were beaten in the final of the UEFA Cup again by Parma.

Milan's fourth-place finish after three successive Serie A titles was joined with further disappointment in the UEFA Champions League, as they lost the final to Dutch champions Ajax.

The relegated Serie A sides this season were Genoa (after tie-breaker with Padova), Foggia, Reggiana and Brescia.

This was the first Serie A season to award three points for a win in the league table: Juventus’ coach Marcello Lippi used a very offensive 4-3-3 formation, which resulted in a record 7 losses for a champion team, but with only 4 draws the Bianconeri capitalized upon the new regulation.

Teams

Fiorentina, Bari, Brescia and Padova had been promoted from Serie B.
