text: # Italy men's national pitch and putt team
  
  The Italy men's national pitch and putt team represents Italy in the pitch and putt international competitions. It is managed by the Federazione Italiana de Pitch and Putt (FIPP).
  
  It was one of the founders of the European Pitch and Putt Association, the governing body that develops the pitch and putt in Europe and stages a biennial European Team Championship, where Italy reached the third place in 1999 and 2001. In 2006 participated in the creation of the Federation of International Pitch and Putt Associations (FIPPA), that stages a biennial World Cup Team Championship.
  
  In 2009, vacated their membership of FIPPA and EPPA and joined another international association, IPPA.
