[edit] Eurobasket 1947
Austria first competed in the European championship at Eurobasket 1947, placing 12th of 14 teams. They lost both of their preliminary round games. In the semifinal round, they lost their first game but defeated Albania to place second in group and set up a match against the Netherlands for 11th and 12th place, which Austria lost.
[edit] Eurobasket 1951
The Austrians appeared again at Eurobasket 1951 in Paris. They were eliminated from championship contention after finishing 1-3 in pool play and 4th in their group. They won all three of their first round classification games, however, advancing to the 9-12 classification semifinals. A loss to the Netherlands but a win over West Germany gave Austria 11th place of the 18 teams.
[edit] Eurobasket 1955
Austria's appearance at Eurobasket 1955 in Budapest began with a 2-2 showing in preliminary round play. This was good enough for only third rank in the pool, and Austria was bumped to classification 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.
[edit] Eurobasket 1957
In Sofia for the Eurobasket 1957 competition, Austria was defeated thrice in the preliminary round. Their 0-3 record put them last in their group and sent them to the classification pool. They won 2 games there, finishing 2-5 to take an overall 14th place in the 16-team tournament.
