History
Austria debuted in the fourth edition of the contest. The first Austrian entry in the Mediterraneanvision Song Contest was Zoë with the French language song "Danse avec moi", which qualified from the second semi-final placing 4th with 197 points, going on to place 8th in the final with 205 points.

Following their debut, Austria did not take part in the fifth and sixth editions. While ORF gave no reasons for their absence in the fifth edition, they stated that their absence from the sixth edition was due to scheduling issues.

The country made their return to the seventh edition where they selected Mia Nova with the song "You Know My Name". They competed in the second semi-final where they placed 3rd with 195 points, once again qualifying for the grand final where they went on to place 8th with 177 points, which to date remains their joint-best result alongside their debut entry.

The next two editions that followed weren't as successful for Austria, having failed to qualify for the final on both occasions, however, the country once again managed to qualify in both the tenth and eleventh editions.
