: ''For the first Battle of Custoza, see Battle of Custoza (1848).''
The 'Battle of Custoza ' took place on 24 June 1866 during the Third Italian Independence War in the Italian unification process.
The Austrian Empire army, led by Archduke Albert of Habsburg, defeated the Italian army led by Alfonso Ferrero la Marmora and Enrico Cialdini, in spite of the Italians' strong numerical advantage.
Only the success of the Prussian army, allied to Italy, obliged the Austrians to ask for peace.
