It has not yet qualified for a European Championship; it will play in the tournament for the first time in 2008 when it co-hosts the event with Switzerland. In the 1938 finals, Austria qualified but withdrew and did not play any matches because of Anschluss. Their best result came in 1954, when they finished third.
