Monza's lineup during the 1938–39 season, in which they became the first Serie C team to reach the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia

Associazione Calcio Monza is an Italian professional football club based in Monza, Lombardy. The club was formed in 1912 as Monza Foot-Ball Club, and first took part in the Terza Categoria (third level) in the 1913–14 season as AC Monza.[1]

Monza first played in the Coppa Italia – the Italian domestic cup – in the 1926–27 season, where they reached the third round.[2] In the 1938–39 season, Monza reached the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, becoming the first Serie C side to do so.[3] The club was first promoted to the Serie B in 1951.[4] Prior to their first Serie A promotion in 2022, Monza played 40 Serie B seasons throughout their history, the most of any Italian club without playing in the top flight.[5] Monza have won the Coppa Italia Serie C a record four times, the Serie C championship four times, and an Anglo-Italian Cup.

This list details the club's placement in the league, the major national cups (Coppa Italia, Supercoppa Italiana), and other FIGC-sanctioned cups (Coppa Italia Serie C, Supercoppa di Serie C, and Coppa Italia Serie D).
