Serie A is the top professional association football league in Italy and the highest level of the Italian football league system. It was established in the 1929-30 season, when it restructured the existing Italian Football Championship, played since 1898, into a national round-robin format alongside Serie B, and it works on promotion and relegation with Serie B. It was organised by the Direttorio Divisioni Superiori until 1943, by the Lega Calcio from 1946 to 2010, and by the Lega Serie A since. The Italian Football Federation counts the 29 championships played from 1898 to 1929 as equal to later Serie A titles. The champion wears the scudetto emblem the following season, and Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan are among its best known clubs. It is ranked second in the UEFA coefficient rankings, behind the Premier League and ahead of La Liga.
