The 2010-11 Austrian football championship was the 100th season of a top Austrian league and the 37th under the name Bundesliga. The Bundesliga was sponsored by the sports betting provider tipp3 as the main sponsor. The subsponsor is the mobile phone provider T-Mobile Austria. The official league name is tipp3-Bundesliga powered by T-Mobile.

With the exception of Vorarlberg and Carinthia, all Austrian federal states are represented in the Bundesliga. Vienna, Upper Austria and Styria each have two clubs. SK Sturm Graz became Austrian champions. The champions of the second highest league were FC Admira Wacker Mödling. They were promoted to the top division.

The TV provider Sky Deutschland AG has the rights to show all Bundesliga games in full length. They broadcast thhis on the Sky Sport Austria channel. For the first time, the broadcaster will show all games not only in the familiar conference call, but also as individual games.

The scandal of the season occurred on 22 May 2011 at the derby between Rapid and Austria. Spectators from the Rapid sector stormed the pitch and forced the game to be abandoned. The Bundesliga responded with a record fine : €50,000 fine and 2 games without spectators for Rapid. In July 2011 Rapid was ordered reduced to play 1 game without spectators. ^[1]
