The Derby d'Italia is a bi-annual football fixture in Italian football between Internazionale and Juventus.

It is unique in Italian Football due to the fact that the derby has been an ever present fixture in Serie A and is the only match which has been ever present in Serie A. In the 2005/06 season, Juventus prevailed and won both matches, 2:0 on October 2, at the Stadio delle Alpi and 2:1 at the San Siro on Februrary 12.

It is considered the most important derby in Italian Football, although the Derby della Madonnina (Milan Derby) is sometimes seen as more prestigious, while the Rome derby is seen as the most hotly contested derby.
