2015–16 Austrian Cup
football tournament season
The 2015–16 Austrian Cup (German: ÖFB-Samsung-Cup) was the 82nd season of Austria's nationwide football cup competition. It began with the matches of the First Round on 17 July 2015 and ended on 20 May 2016 with the final at Wörthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt. Red Bull Salzburg won the title for the third consecutive time by beating Admira Wacker Mödling 5–0. As Salzburg had also won the 2015–16 Austrian Bundesliga and therefore qualified for the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League, the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League spot reserved for the cup winners went to the domestic league runners-up Rapid Wien.

Why this record matters
“2015–16 Austrian Cup” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Austrian, football and tournament provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20646909. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2015 and 2016.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
