Rennweger SV 1901 was founded on February 26, 1901[4] by brothers Heinrich and Josef Klomser as well as Ferdinand Lausch and Alois Marischka.

After the Austrian Civil War, the club was banned from any activity on February 25, 1934, as it was a member of the Workers' Sports Association and thus an institution of the Social Democratic Party of Austria.

In the 1971/1972 season, there was a tragic incident; after a championship match against local rival LAC, RSV player Werner Schiehl collapsed and died.

In the 2004/2005 season, Rennweger SV became league champions of the Oberliga A after 23 years of membership, with a record-breaking performance of only three draws and a goal difference of 149:27.

From 2005/2006, Rennweger SV played in the Vienna City League for the first time since the late 1970s and finished the season in fourth place.
