The list of Austrian champions in football gives an overview of all champions and runners-up of the Austrian football championships for women and men. The championships were sorted according to the respective associations and professional football leagues were highlighted separately in dark gray.
The Austrian Football Union was founded on January 4th, 1900 and emerged from the "Committee for the Organization of Football Competitions". It organized its own league and was the organizer of the first official international matches. After the establishment of the competition association ÖFV, the union had to disband in 1904.
Austrian Football Association and Austrian Football Association
The Austrian Football Association was founded on March 18, 1904 and was able to establish itself as the new leading association by the end of the year. After internal disputes, the Austrian Football Association became the Free Association of Austrian Amateur Football Associations and the ÖFB, founded on August 22, 1926, took over the position of the ÖFV. The ÖFB was dissolved in 1938 and resumed its activities in 1945.
1911–1919: From 1911 championships were held in a total of four separate sub-associations, the planned link to a Reich championship could not be implemented. During the First World War, gaming operations came to a standstill. Only in Lower Austria were separate war championships organized, in which ten clubs established in 1915 were allowed to participate in order to maintain a minimum level of sporting entertainment.
1919–1938: After the First World War, the Lower Austrian Championship fell into the hands of the Vienna Association, which in 1924 introduced a professional league. In the course of this development, the name Austrian Championship was established for the first time, regardless of the fact that only clubs from the greater Vienna area took part in the championship. In 1928, an Austria-wide amateur championship was also introduced as a small opposite pole.
1945 – today: After the end of the Second World War, the Vienna Football Association hosted an 'Austrian' championship again - but only accepted by Viennese clubs. Nevertheless, a competition for clubs from all over Austria was introduced for two seasons in opposite directions in 1947 in the form of a cup ( federal state cup ). This dualism only lasted two years and in 1949 a professional league was reintroduced by the new ÖFB member State League. At the request of Lower Austria, teams outside Vienna were also admitted for the first time in addition to 1938-45 (see below). This league went back to the ÖFB in 1965 and to the ÖFB member Bundesliga in 1991.
National Socialist Reich Association for physical exercises
The National Socialist Reich Association for Physical Exercise was an association supervised by the NSDAP and headquartered in Berlin, which organized sport in the German Reich. In order to determine a German football champion, the participants were played in several sports districts. In the area of former Eastern Austria as well as Slovenia and southern Czechoslovakia, after the " Anschluss Austria " and during the time of the " Greater German Reich ", the sports district 17 was initially set up as a Gauliga and then as a division class. Since the winners of these competitions succeeded in establishing themselves as Austrian champions after the Second World War and this is also recognized by the ÖFB, these are also listed here.
The Austrian Women's Football Union was an independent association that was completely independent of the ÖFB , which did not accept any women. It was founded in 1935 and organized an ÖDFU league for the first time as the year-round 1936 season. The 1938 season had to be canceled because women's football was not tolerated by the NSRL .
Since 1982, the supervision of women's football in Austria has been carried out directly under the care of the Austrian Football Association . The champion is determined in the ÖFB Women's Bundesliga . In the 2007/08 to 2009/10 seasons, the champion was determined in the upper playoff among the top 5 teams of the fall. In contrast, the Vienna Football Association took on women's football in 1971 and organized a women's league for the first time in 1972/73 as a championship for all Austrian clubs.
An overview of the title distribution of the individual clubs can be found in the respective championship articles. A “mixed” list, for example of amateur state championship titles and professional champions of the ÖFB, is unusual in Austria, only the focus on the masters of the ÖFU, the ÖFV and ÖFB is occasionally found, the masters of the ÖFV and ÖFB are always listed together.
