Austria has participated in the Contest 54 times since its debut at the Eurovision Song Contest 1957 in Frankfurt-am-Main. They have won twice: in 1966 with the song "Merci, chérie" by Udo Jürgens, and in 2014, with the song "Rise Like a Phoenix" by Conchita Wurst. The country currently holds the record for longest gap between wins, with 48 years between victories.

They have finished last in the final a total of eight times, in 1957, 1961, 1962, 1979, 1984, 1988, 1991 and 2015 - the latter on home soil, making them the first-ever host nation to suffer this fate. Since the introduction of the semi-finals, they have failed to qualify for the final seven times.
