1915-16 Austrian football championship

The **1915-16 Austrian football championship** was organized by the Lower Austrian Football Association. Although there were originally four championships in the Austria-Hungary empire during the First World War only the first class of the NFV was played as a war championship. There was no relegation.

To secure a properly championship some new decisions regarding transfers were made. Players only had to be registered with a new club for 8 days (coming from non-association clubs) or 14 days (coming from association clubs). Then they were allowed to play championshipmatches.
