The Austrian team missed the 1920 Summer Olympics due to its role in World War I. The nation has twice hosted the Games in Innsbruck for the 1964 Winter Olympics and again for the 1976 Winter Olympics.

Austrian athletes have won a total of 86 medals at the Summer Olympic Games. They have 185 medals at the Winter Olympic Games. Austria has won more medals in alpine skiing than any other nation.

The National Olympic Committee for Austria is the Österreichisches Olympisches Comité. It was formed in 1908 and recognized in 1912.
