1918-19 Austrian football championship

The **1918-19 Austrian football championship** was organized by the Lower Austrian Football Association. Only teams from Vienna and the Vienna suburbs were allowed to take part. Clubs from the federal states had no opportunity to take part in the championship. After the First World War ended in 1918, the association reintroduced relegation and promotion.

The Erste Klasse (NFV) was played with ten clubs, each of which played nine games in an autumn and spring round. SK Rapid Wien won the Austrian championship title for the fifth time. The bottom of the table, SC Wacker Wien, was able to remain in the league due to the first class being expanded to twelve clubs.
