The name given to the enormously successful international Italian team, so-called after their triumph over the Red team in the 1956 Italian trials. From 1957 until 1975 the Blue Team won every Bermuda Bowl World Championship it contested (it did not participate in 1970/71) and the 1964, 1968 and 1972 Olympiads.
The three best-known players in this period were Giorgio Belladonna, Pietro Forquet and Benito Garozzo. The team divided into two schools of thought over bidding, which led to the development of the Neapolitan Club (forerunner of the Blue Club) and the Roman Club.
