The Coppa Italia Primavera (Italian for Spring Italian Cup) is an Italian football competition played for by youth teams from Campionato Primavera. All players are under 20 of age. The first edition was held in the 1972–73 season.
Due to sponsorship reasons, the cup is officially called Primavera TIM Cup.
All the competition is played on home and away bases. Three eliminatory rounds are played by the 34 worst clubs, with successive entrances. The eight winners are joined by eight best clubs in the round of 16. Quarterfinals, semifinals and the finals follow. The champions are eligible for the Supercoppa Primavera.
