In the 2005–06 season, Serie A, the major professional football league in Italy, was contested for the second year in a row by 20 teams. The league commenced on August 28, 2005 and finished on May 14, 2006. While Juventus were originally declared champions, this was later revoked due to the 2006 Calciopoli Scandal with Internazionale on July 26, 2006 declared champions by the Italian Football Federation.
Before the 2005–06 season if two or more teams were tied in points for first place, for only one spot in a European tournament, or in the relegation zone, teams would play tie-breaking games after the season was over to determine which team would be champion, or be awarded a European tournament spot, or be saved or relegated. However, 2005–06 saw the introduction of new rules. If two or more teams ended the season with the same number of points, the ordering was determined by their head-to-head records. If two or more teams had the same total points and head-to-head records, goal difference became the decisive factor.
