The Austrian Cup, in German: ÖFB-Cup is an annual football (soccer) competition held by the Austrian Football Association, the ÖFB.

It has been held since 1919, with the exception of the time of the Anschluss between 1939 and 1945 and the period between 1950 and 1958 when the competition was deemed of little interest. Because Austria co-hosted Euro 2008, only amateur teams took part in the Austrian Cup in 2008.

Until 2010, the tournament was named after its main sponsor (the latest being the Austrian brewery Stiegl). Since then, the tournament has been held under the motto "Goals for Europe" ("Tore für Europa") to emphasize that it is the fastest way for Austrian teams to qualify for the UEFA Europa League (6–7 games, depending on the division of the club).

Having won the cup 27 times, Austria Wien is by far the most successful competitor. The current holder of the trophy is SV Ried.

[edit] Finals

  • 1939–1945: Austrian clubs took part in German competition / World War II
  • 1950–1958: No competition held (as deemed uninteresting by the association)

Note: Amateur-SV is the former name of Austria Wien.
