The Austria national cricket team () is the men's team that represents the Republic of Austria in international cricket. The team is organised by the Austrian Cricket Association (ACA), which became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1992 and an associate member in 2017.
The Austria national team made its international debut in 1990, at the European Cricketer Cup in Guernsey. It has since regularly competed in European Cricket Council tournaments, usually in the lower divisions, and also often plays bilateral series against other European sides.
Cricket was played by English gardeners, tradesmen and bank staff working in Vienna at the end of the 19th century. In 1894, the Vienna Cricket and Football-Club was founded. However cricket then disappeared in Austria until after the Second World War, when it was played recreationally by British occupying troops.
The modern era of Austrian cricket began in May 1975, when the Australian Kerry Tattersall introduced the game to his pupils at the Wiener Handelsakademie (Viennese Commercial Academy) where he was teaching English, and formed the Vienna Cricket Club. Early opponents came from the United Nations (United Nations CC) and diplomatic services (Five Continents CC), and these founder clubs survive to this day.
Cricket in Austria predominantly remains Vienna-based: 11 of the 18 member clubs are based in Vienna. CC Velden '91 is the oldest non-Viennese club, operating since 1991. The latest addition to the ACA is ASKÃÂ Steyr CC from Upper Austria.
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Austria and other ICC members since 1 January 2019 have the full T20I status.
Austria played its first T20I match against Romania on 29 August 2019 during the 2019 Continental Cup in Romania.
The Austria national team has participated in a considerable number of international tournaments, including hosting three tournaments since 2000:
Austria have been placed in Division Five of the newly-expanded European Championship from 2008.

There are three club competitions within Austria: the ACA (Austrian Cricket Association) League, and ACA Trophy (north & south).
The ACA League comprises (in 2006) 14 teams, 10 of which are based in Vienna. The ACA Trophy sometimes includes teams from outside Austria, for example from Poland and the Czech Republic.
