The Gauliga Ostmark, renamed Gauliga Donau-Alpenland in 1941, was the highest football league in Austria after its annexation by Germany in 1938. Shortly after the occupation, the Nazis reorganised the administrative regions in Austria, and the seven "Gaue" "Carinthia", "Niederdonau", "Oberdonau", "Salzburg", "Styria", "Vienna" and "Tyrol-Vorarlberg" replaced the country of Austria. From 1941, the northernmost region of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, "Drava Banovina", became part of the "Gaue" "Carinthia" and "Styria".
