The Sportklub Rapid Wien or SK Rapid Wien is one of the two large football teams in Vienna. The second team, Rapid's eternal rival, is FK Austria Wien. The Rapid squad is often known as the "Green-Whites" (those being the team's colors) or as Hütteldorfer on the basis of the Gerhard Hanappi Stadium, which is located in Hütteldorf, part of Vienna's 14th district.

Rapid Vienna is also Austria's record titleholder, winning the Austrian Championship title 31 times (as of 2005). Supporters of other teams sometimes argue that the 16 championship wins before the establishment of an all-Austrian league should not be counted. However, those titles actually are counted by most observers, since Austrian football was virtually identical with Viennese football at that time.
