History
A third division above the regional leagues was first created in Italy in 1926, when fascist authorities decided to reform the major championships on a national basis, increasing the number of teams participating by promoting many regional teams from the Third Division (Terza Divisione) to the Second Division (Seconda Divisione).
A new league running this Second Division, the ''Direttorio Divisioni Inferiori Nord'' (Northern Directory of Lower Divisions) was set up in

, while football activity in the southern part of the country was run by the ''Direttorio Divisioni Inferiori Sud'' which later became the ''Direttorio Meridionale'' (Southern Directory). These leagues did not last long; after another reform they were disbanded between 1930 and 1931. Some bigger clubs who owned large pitches with dimensions of 100x60 metres were promoted to the First Division (Prima Divisione); a league defined and structured as the "National Championship".
The Second Division had no relegations to regional leagues as most were reelected at the beginning of each new season. Once a critical threshold was reached the Italian federation decided to close the two leagues and move all teams to the "Direttori Regionali" (Regional Committees) so that the labour-intensive job of organisation was delegated to more efficient and organised regional staff.
The most successful teams coming from the Second Divisions in 5 years (from 1926–27 to 1930–31) composed 6 ever-growing sections of the First Division (Prima Divisione) which at the beginning had just a few teams in just one section from southern Italy.
This championship was organized by the same league governing

(the "Direttorio Divisioni Superiori"), even if, as opposed to the two higher divisions, it was structured in local groups with geographical criteria. The number of clubs belonging to the Prima Divisione continued to increase every year, until FIGC decided to rename it ''Serie C'' (at the beginning of the 1935–36 season) while a subsequent large reduction in 1948 led to the creation of a sole national division in 1952–53.
The reform that created the actual league was decided by Bruno Zauli in 1959 as he built on the incomplete work started by the former president Ottorino Barassi to make professional football fully recognised and organised. While

Format
Serie C is composed of 60 teams divided equally into three groups split horizontally in geographical terms, from north to south (basically they are three leagues unbound from each other during regular season). The round-robin format is used, with the two halves of the season having exactly the same order of fixtures. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. At the end of the regular season one table per group is determined, based on points. If two or more teams are tied on points, the following tie-breaking criteria apply:
# Head-to-head points;
# Head-to-head goal difference;
# Goal difference;

.[ There are a total of six rounds:
* ''First round''. Fixtures pair the 5th v 10th, 6th v 9th and 7th v 8th-placed teams;
* ''Second round''. Fixtures pair the 4th v the worst-placed team and the best-placed team v the 2nd best-placed team from the previous round.
''First round'' and ''Second round'' consist in single-leg games and, if teams are tied after regular time, the higher-placed team advances. 6 teams (2 per group) advance to the next round.
* ''Third round''. The three 3rd-placed teams, Coppa Italia Serie C winner and the best-placed team from the previous round are seeded. Fixtures are drawn;
* ''Quarter-finals''. The three 2nd-placed teams and the best-placed team from the previous round are seeded. Fixtures are drawn.
''Third round'' and ''Quarter-finals'' consist in two-legged games, with seeded team playing at home for second leg, and, if teams are tied on aggregate, the seeded team advances.
The four winning teams reach the ''Final four'', composed of:
* ''Semi-finals'';
* ''Final''.
''Final four'' fixtures are drawn, all games are two-legged and, if teams are tied on aggregate, the winner is decided by extra-time and a penalty shootout if required.
In order to determine the ''best-placed team'', the following criteria apply:
# League position;
# Points;
# Wins;
# Goals scored;
# Draw.
If the winner of Coppa Italia Serie C:
# finishes in the top three, qualifies for the relegation play-offs, is relegated directly, or just renounces, its spot goes to the runners-up or, subordinately, if they meet the same requirements, to the 4th-placed team playing in the same group as the winner. Thus, the 5th-placed team advances automatically to the ''Second round'' and faces the worst-placed team from the ''First round'', whose fixtures now pair the 6th v 11th, 7th v 10th and 8th v 9th-placed teams;
# finishes in the 4th to 10th positions, the 11th-placed team playing in the same group qualifies for the ''First round''. Fixtures of ''First round'' and ''Second round'' still respect the order of the seven participating teams as seen before, with the best-placed team (that can be the 4th or 5th-placed team if Coppa Italia Serie C winner finished 4th) entering the ''Second round'' and facing the worst-placed team among the other six which play the ''First round'';
# gives its spot to the runners-up and they finish in the 4th to 10th positions, the 11th-placed team playing in the same group as the runners-up qualifies for the ''First round'' (for fixtures see the point 2).

is variable. Usually, fixtures pair the 16th v 19th and 17th vs 18th-placed teams. Matches are two-legged, the higher-placed team plays at home for second leg and, if teams are tied on aggregate, the lower-placed team is relegated to Serie D.[ However, if the higher-placed team finishes 9 or more points ahead of the lower-placed team, ''play-out'' is canceled and team is relegated directly.
