The Tour of Austria, or Internationale Österreich Rundfahrt as it is also known, is a stage race held in Austria.  From 1949 until 1995 it was an amateur race and in 1996 it became a professional race.

Austrian rider Wolfgang Steinmayr won the race 4 times in 1972, 1973, 1975 and 1976.  With four wins he still holds the record for the most wins of the Tour of Austria.

Steinmayr had a very successful 1975 Tour of Austria.  He not only won the overall race, but he also won the mountains classification,  Stage 9,  and placed top 5 in both the points and sprint categories.
