2014–15 SK Rapid Wien season

The 2014–15 SK Rapid Wien season was the 117th season in club history.

Background

Background information

Rapid Wien finished the 2013–14 season in second place. Normally, the second place team would have entered the second qualifying round. However, Red Bull Salzburg, who qualified for the 2014–15 Champions League, won the 2013–14 Austrian Cup. Therefore Rapid Wien will start in the Play–off round.

In June 2014 it was announced that the new Allianz Stadion will be built in place of Gerhard Hanappi Stadium. Therefore, Rapid hosts its home games in the Ernst Happel Stadion this season and the pre-season game against Celtic F.C. was the last game ever played in the Gerhard Hanappi Stadium.
