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 colours) or as Hütteldorfer for the location of the Gerhard Hanappi Stadium, which is located in Hütteldorf, part of Vienna's Penzing or 14th district. Rapid has a nationwide fan base and is clearly the country's most popular football club. In English language, they are referred to as Rapid Vienna.

History SK Rapid Wien were founded in 1898 as Erster Wiener Arbeiter-Fußball-Club (First Workers' Football Club of Vienna). The team's original colours were red and blue and usually they are still used in away matches today. On January 8 1899 the club was re-named, taking on its present name of Sportklub Rapid Wien (Sport Club Rapid Vienna), following the example of SV Nord Wedding. In 1904, the team colours were changed to green and white.

One of the best teams in early European football, Rapid became a dominant side during the years between the world wars, when Austria was one of the leading football nations on the continent. After the Anschluss of Austria to Germany in 1938, Rapid played in that country's Gauliga Ostmark along with clubs such as First Vienna FC and VfB Admira Wacker Mödling (playing then as Wacker Wien and Admira Wien). Rapid would be the most successful of these clubs. They won the Tschammerpokal, predecessor of today's German Cup, in 1938 with a 3-1 victory over FSV Frankfurt, and topped that with a German champions (football) in 1941 by defeating Schalke 04, the most dominant German club of the era. The team was able to overcome a 3-0 Schalke lead to win the match by a final score of 4-3 through strength and endurance – the traditional virtues of Rapid players known as the Rapidgeist or "Rapid Spirit".

Almost since the club's beginnings, Rapid fans have announced the last fifteen minutes of the game by way of the legendary "Rapidviertelstunde" – rhythmic clapping at home or away no matter what the score. The first mention of the practise goes back to 1913, and in 1919 a newspaper wrote about the fans clapping at the beginning of the "Rapidviertelstunde". Over the decades, there were many instances where Rapid managed to turn around a seemingly hopeless situation by not giving up and, with their fans' support, fighting their way to a win just before the final whistle.

Although Rapid is by far the most popular club in Austria, other teams like Red Bull Salzburg or FK Austria Magna are able to spend significantly more money every year as they are owned by investors/billionaires. Rapid is trying to compensate for this lack of financial funds by supporting young and talented players.

Stadium SK Rapid Wien's stadium is Gerhard Hanappi Stadium, which is located in Hütteldorf, part of the Penzing district of Vienna. In its earliest days Rapid played on a military exercise field, until the opening of a new stadium in Rudolfsheim in 1903. But the field there was unsuitable because it was sloped, and with the club's rising popularity, a new stadium was needed: in 1912, the legendary "Pfarrwiese" was built, just in time for the first Austrian Championship. In 1977, Rapid moved to the new "West-Stadion", which was later renamed Gerhard Hanappi Stadium after its architect and popular and successful former Rapid player Gerhard Hanappi.

Honours Rapid Vienna is also Austria's record titleholder, winning the Austrian champions (football) 31 times to date. Supporters of other teams sometimes argue that the 16 championship wins before the establishment of a nation wide all-Austrian league should not be counted. However, those titles are credited by most observers, since Viennese league play was virtually synonymous with Austrian football at that time.
