Austrian Cup


The Austrian Cup known as UNIQA ÖFB Cup for sponsorship purposes, is an annual football competition held by the Austrian Football Association, the ÖFB. During the 2008–09 season, Austria Wien won the tournament for 27th time, a record.

History

It has been held since 1918–19, 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 teams from Austrian Football First League or lower divisions took part in the 2007–08 Austrian Cup.
Until 2010, the tournament was named after its main sponsor. Since then, the tournament has been held under the motto "Goals for Europe" to emphasize that it is the fastest way for Austrian teams to qualify for the UEFA Europa League.
Having won the cup 27 times, Austria Wien is by far the most successful competitor. The current holder of the trophy is SK Sturm Graz.
