The fifth edition of the Coppa Italia Master concluded in Gubbio, Italy, on September 14, 2025, crowning champions across barebow, compound and recurve disciplines for archers aged 50, and over.

Following qualification rounds involving 72 arrows, elimination matches determined the final standings in each class. In the barebow category, Cecilia Campana of Oscar Oleggio Bellinzago secured the women’s 55-59 age group title, while Mario Frassati of Arcieri Alpignano claimed victory in the men’s over-65 division.
