During the 1964–65 season Milan Associazione Calcio competed in Serie A, Coppa Italia and Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.

Summary

In the 1964-1965 season Milan was led by Nils Liedholm. With the Swede on the bench and without Dino Sani, who returned to Brazil, the Rossoneri dominated the first half of the season, being unbeaten for the first nineteen matches, and maintained the top of the league until the 31st matchday, when the comeback of city-rivals Inter was completed after a home loss against Roma. They finished second in the standings, three points behind the Nerazzurri, after having reached a maximum lead of seven points in January.

Milan participated in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, where they were eliminated in the first round by Strasbourg. The journey in the Coppa Italia was also short, being eliminated in the first round by Monza. At the end of the season Gipo Viani moved to Genoa after nine seasons with the Rossoneri, two as head coach and seven as technical director.
