Summary

edit
 
The Milan formation that won their first Italian Championship in 1901.

The 1900–01 season was characterized by the victory of the first Italian Championship in the club's history. After defeating Juventus in Turin with a 2–3 score, Milan won the final against favorites Genoa with an imposing 3–0, playing once again away. That season, the team was mainly made up of British and foreign players, with only five Italians. Manager of the club was still founder Herbert Kilpin, who, from this season, became also the team's captain, a role that he would keep until 1907.

In 1901, Milan also won the Medaglia del Re for the second time in a row after the victory of the previous year, this time by defeating Mediolanum in the quarter-finals, Juventus in the semifinals, and drawing the final played against Genoa at Milan's home ground. A play-off became necessary to define the winner, but Genoa gave their unavailability to play it; therefore, Milan won the trophy by forfeit.

With three goals, Ettore Negretti was the season's top scorer of the club, even though, as it was common at the time, for many goals there is no source showing who scored them.
