1916-17 Austrian football championship

The 1916-17 Austrian football championship was organized by the Lower Austrian Football Association. It was the third war championship. 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 and promotion.

As in the previous year, Rapid Wien became champions. Rapid  benefited from the fact that many of their regular players were available for almost every championship match. This was also true for Floridsdorfer AC and SC Rudolfshügel. Other teams havd to play with reinforced junior teams.Austria Soccer
