Between 1893 and 1895, the club played cricket against the crews of various British ships that docked in the harbour from time to time. In 1898, some of the club's early football matches were against the HMS Clementine crew and the crew of HMS Revenge.

In 1897, not unreasonably, Italian players were allowed to join and a new field was found.

On May 8, 1898, Genoa became the first ever Italian champions. In 1899, the club changed its name to Genoa Cricket & Football Club, dropping 'Athletic' from its name.
