VfB Admira Wacker Mödling is an Austrian football club from Mödling. The club was formed in 1997 following the merger of VfB Mödling and SCN Admira/Wacker.
The origins of the club go back to the formation of Admira Vienna in 1905. Between 1926 and 1939 this team captured seven Austrian national championship titles, as well as three Austrian Cups. Austrian teams were among the best in continental Europe at this time and several Admira players were part of the powerful national side commonly known as the "Miracle Team".
After the Anschluss that united Germany and Austria in 1938 Admira played for several seasons in the Gauliga Ostmark, one of the top flight regional leagues created through the reorganization of German football under the Third Reich. The club contested Germany's national final in 1939, losing 0:9 to Schalke 04, which was on its way to becoming the dominant side in German football of the era. In the postwar period honours were harder to come by: the team earned only one additional national title, in 1966, alongside three more Austrian Cups.
In 1971 Admira merged with Wacker Wien which was formed in 1908 and played in the first division continuously from 1914 to 1961, winning the Austrian championship in 1947. As Admira Wacker this combined side won the Austrian Super Cup in 1989. These sixteen title wins mark today's club as the fourth most successful in the history of Austrian football.
The other half of the current club was formed as SVg Mödling on August 11, 1911 and re-named VfB Mödling in 1992.
Admira Wacker Mödling plays in Austria's top-flight T-Mobile Bundesliga, and play their home games at Bundesstadion Südstadt. The club has competed at this level since the 2000-01 season, generally earning mid-table results.
Following the 2005-2006 seasson, the team is relegated to the second league.
