The 1921–22 Prima Categoria season was won by Novese. During the Summer of 1921, a dispute between the ''Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio'' (FIGC) and the strongest teams within the league arose. The teams asked for a reduction of the number of participants in the ''1a Divisione''. Vittorio Pozzo developed a plan to accommodate the teams' requests, however, after a vote the plan was not passed; the smaller clubs feared that they would disappear if such a reduction was introduced. This led to the creation of a new Italian football federation, the CCI (''Confederazione Calcistica Italiana''), that organized a championship concurrent to the FIGC championship. This separation, however, only lasted one season and the following summer FIGC accepted a reduction in the league participants. The 1921-22 FIGC winner was U.S. Novese.
