1966-67 Austrian football championship

The **1966-67 Austrian football championship**  was organized by the Austrian Football Association. The regional leagues East (Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland), Central (Upper Austria, Styria, Carinthia), and West (Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg) served as the foundation for the National League. The respective state leagues of the federal state associations served as the third level.

The championship was contested by 14 teams, each of which met twice throughout the season. Rapid Wien won the Austrian football championship for the 24th time in the season. The championship was only decided in Rapid's favor in the final round. A goal by Pienz for Bregenz in Wacker Innsbruck's 5-1 victory altered the duel in favor of the Vienna team. A 5-0 victory for Innsbruck would have been enough to win the title. Even in the relegation zone, third-to-last SC Wacker Wien failed due to their worse goal difference compared to SK Sturm Graz. These teams were replaced by  WSG Radenthein , SC Eisenstadt and SV Austria Salzburg.
