Eurobasket 1955
Austria's appearance at Eurobasket 1955 in Budapest began with a 2–2 showing in preliminary round play.

There, they were able to win only 1 of 4 games (the win coming against West Germany), placing 4th of the 5 teams in the group. Playing against Luxembourg and then Switzerland in classification 13–16 playoffs, Austria won both games to finish 13th of 18 teams.
