During the 1914–15 season Milan Foot-Ball and Cricket Club competed in the Italian Football Championship.

Summary

Before the start of the season, Milan moved their home pitch from the Campo Milan di Porta Monforte to the Velodromo Sempione.^[1] The season started well for Milan, as they won both the preliminary round and the semifinal tournament, reaching the final round of northern Italy.

The final round, however, did not end due to Italy's entry into the First World War. The title of Italian champion was then awarded to Genoa with a post-war resolution by the FIGC.^[2] In this championship, Milan lost only 3 games out of 21 played. Striker Louis Van Hege was still the star, scoring 22 goals in 20 games.
