FC Swarovski Tirol was an Austrian association football club from 1986 to 1992, based in Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria.
A year later, FC Tirol Innsbruck was founded and it was considered the continuation of the club.
History It was created by crystal manufacturer Swarovski as a split-off of FC Wacker Innsbruck, whose Bundesliga license it adopted at the end of the 1985–86 season. With manager Ernst Happel it won the Austrian football championship of 1989 and 1990 as well as the Austrian Cup in 1989. It nevertheless was dissolved in 1992 and the license fell back to FC Wacker, only to change over again to the newly established FC Tirol Innsbruck one year later.
