Genoa began on 7 September 1893 as Genoa Cricket & Athletic Club, and the football section became the club's main activity on 10 April 1897 thanks to James Richardson Spensley. Genoa entered the 1898 inaugural Italian Championship, took its second title on 16 April 1899 and a third in a row in 1900, with a 7–0 win over local rivals Sampierdarenese along the way. In 1901 Genoa adopted the red-navy halves that made them the rossoblù, and a fourth title came in 1902. On 27 April 1903 the club became the first Italian team to play an international match, winning 3–0 against FVC Nice, and another championship followed in 1904. The new Marassi ground opened its doors on 22 January 1911. Genoa were awarded the title in 1919, beat Lazio 6–1 over two legs in the 1922–23 final, and won again in 1923–24, the season that introduced the scudetto patch. The first relegation to Serie B came in 1933–34, and the Coppa Italia arrived in 1936–37 with a 1–0 win over Roma. Genoa fell to Serie C for the first time in 1970, won Serie B in 2004–05, returned to Serie A in 2007–08, went down in 2021–22 and came back after one season in Serie B.
Genoa play at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa, a ground that opened in 1911 and holds 33,205. It is among the older homes in football in Italy, with the lived-in feel that comes with more than a century of use. The noise on the biggest nights has a way of rattling visiting sides, and that makes it a place where Genoa tend to be better than the table suggests.
