The team was founded December 16, 1899 by Alfred Edwards as the Milan Cricket and Football Club. Edwards, a former British vice-consul in Milan and well-known personality of the Milanese high society, was the club's first elected president. Initially the team included a cricket section, managed by Edward Berra, and a football section managed by David Allison.

In 1908, issues over the signing of foreign players led to a split of the team's "progressive" faction, who formed F.C. Internazionale Milano.

In 1938 the fascist regime imposed a new italianized name, Associazione Calcio Milano, for the team. However, that name was abandoned immediately after the World War II, but maintaining the initial part: the team was called Associazione Calcio Milan, which is the current official name.

Milan is one of the most successful clubs in the world, having won a total of 27 trophies in Italy and 17 in international competitions, including a record 13 European trophies (previously being tied with Real Madrid with 12). Milan have earned the distinction of being allowed to wear a star on their jersey representing the fact that they have won more than 10 Scudetti. Added to this Milan are allowed to wear the UEFA Badge of Honour on their jersey during Champions League matches as they have won more than 5 European Cups.[13]
