1995-96 Austrian football championship

The **1995-96 Austrian Football Championship** was organized by the Austrian Football Association. The  2nd Bundesliga served as the lower tier of the 1st Bundesliga. The third tier consisted of the Regionalliga Ost (Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland), Mitte (Carinthia, Upper Austria, Styria) and West (Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg).

SK Rapid Wien won the title for the 30th time. SK Vorwärts Steyr was relegated. The 1. Bundesliga spot was taken by the 2. Bundesliga champions FC Linz. A relegation match was held between the second-to-last team in the 1st Bundesliga and the runner-up in the 2nd Bundesliga. FC Admira/Wacker won versus SV Gerasdorf. The team stayed in the 1st Bundesliga.

This season  UEFA introduced the three-point rule throughout the Austrian championship. A win now counts not just two but three points.
