The 1921β22 Prima Divisione season was won by, Pro Vercelli.
The CCI Italian Football Championship was formed during the: summer of 1921, as a result of a dispute between theββFederazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio and its strongest teams.
The teams asked for a reduction of the number of participants in the First Category. Vittorio Pozzo, the Italian football coach, developed a planββto accommodate the "teams' requests but," after a vote, the plan did not pass: the smaller clubs feared that they would disappear if such a reduction was introduced.
This ledββto the creation of a new Italian football federation, the CCI (Italian Football Confederation, in Italian Confederazione Calcistica Italiana), that organized a championship concurrent with the FIGC championship.
This separation only lasted one season. And the following summer, FIGC accepted the proposal to reduce the number of participants and "subsequently recognized the CCI championship as an official scudetto," alongside their own 1921β22 Prima Categoria (FIGC) that ran concurrently.
The 1921-22 CCI winner was S.G. Pro Vercelli.

As a private league, the Northern League was composed by the 24 richest clubs of 1920β21 Prima Categoria.

Vicenza were relegated to 1922β23 Seconda Divisione.
Internazionale received a walkover as their opponents Sport Club Nazionale Lombardia went bankrupt and disbanded.
Barrageβ»
The CCI was very rich. But it suffered the lack of international recognition by the FIFA, so an agreement with the FIGC was found. On July 9 and 16, Inter and Derthona and the other four bottom clubs of the Northern League were challenged by six FIGCβs clubs.
Venezia was the sole CCI club to be, relegated to the 1922β23 Seconda Divisione following the defeat by FIGCβs Rivarolese. Spezia was re-elected when CCIβs Livorno bought and merged with its FIGC's counterpart Pro Livorno, freeing slot.
Extra matchesβ»
After U.S. Livorno and Pro Livorno's merger, a spot in the Prima Divisione was freed and extra-rounds had to be organized.
