Honours
Rapid Vienna is also Austria's record titleholder, winning the Austrian Championship title 32 times to date. The Austrian football champions are the winners of the highest league of Football in Austria. Supporters of other teams sometimes argue that the 16 championship wins before the establishment of a nation wide all-Austrian league should not be counted. However, those titles are credited by most observers, since Viennese league play was virtually synonymous with Austrian football at that time. The wins of the German Championship and German Cup were possible due to Austria's annexation by Germany on March 12, 1938.
