The Austria national alpine ski team represents a country for which alpine skiing is central to national sporting identity, and it has historically been one of the most successful programs in World Cup and Olympic alpine skiing. The team has produced legendary skiers across generations, including Toni Sailer in the 1950s, Franz Klammer in the 1970s, and Hermann Maier and Marcel Hirscher more recently, and Austrian skiers have combined for a large share of all World Cup alpine skiing race wins in the sport's history.
