1. Simmeringer SC was founded in 1901 and played a role in the early Austrian leagues. Simmeringer finished 5th in the first-ever Austrian league in 1912. They achieved their greatest success in 1926, when they finished third in the top flight table. In 1920, the club constructed the
Simmeringer Had, a stadium with a capacity of around 40,000 people which ended up hosting a number of Austrian international matches. 1. Simmeringer SC also played in the top flight between 1951 and 1964. The club's biggest highlight during this period would be participation in the
1960 Mitropa Cup, an early international club competition, where they beat
Ferencvárosi TC of Hungary 2:1 in the first leg in front of 60,000. However, they were defeated 5:1 at home to help consign Austria to last place in the Mitropa Cup table. As of 2020, they play in the 2. Landesliga, the fifth division of Austrian football. ==Honours==
