The 1935–36 Coppa Italia was the third edition of the national domestic tournament cup in Italian football. The tournament resumed 13 years after the inaugural tournament in 1922 and nine years after the 1926–27 Coppa Italia, which was abandoned due to a lack of interest.
Ninety-eight teams, all the members of the Direttorio Divisioni Superiori, took part in the competition, which included a first phase, with elimination rounds reserved to Serie B and C teams, and a final phase, where the 16 winners of the first phase met 16 the Serie A teams. All the matches were played in a single leg with eventual replays under the model of the FA Cup; homefields were decided by a draw except for the final match in Genoa.
14 Serie B clubs are added (Catania, Hellas Verona, Livorno, Siena, Messina, Novara, Vigevano, Pisa, Pro Vercelli, Modena, SPAL, Taranto, Foggia, Pistoiese) together with qualified L’Aquila and Viareggio. Clubs were paired by geographical proximity.
