SV Neulengbach is an Austrian football club from Neulengbach. The club was founded in 1923. In 1996, a special section for women's football was added.
While the men's team always played in lower leagues in Austria, the women's team became very successful. In their first season (1996–97), they started in the second division and won it! This meant they were promoted to the ÖFB-Frauenliga, which is the top women's football league in Austria.
In their first season in the top league, they finished 5th out of eight teams. They also reached the final of the ÖFB Ladies Cup. In the next few seasons, they kept getting better, finishing 2nd, then 3rd, then 2nd again, and then 2nd one more time.
In the 2002–03 season, they won their very first championship title! They did not lose a single game and scored an amazing 120 goals while only letting in 5. After this, they became a very strong team, winning every championship and cup until 2012. In 2004, they set a record by winning a cup final 12–0 against FC Südburgenland.
In the 2009–10 UEFA Women's Champions League, they made it to the Round of 16. They lost to Torres Calcio from Italy. In the 2013–14 season, the club reached the quarter-finals for the first time! They played against Tyresö FF from Sweden and lost with a total score of 8–1 over two games.
