Notes

  1. 1 2 Teams from a large part of northern Sweden, approximately above the province of Medelpad, were not allowed to play in the national league system until the 195354 season, and a championship was instead played to decide the best team in Norrland.
  2. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Tie breaker is goal average.
  3. Austria were unable to compete at the 1938 World Cup after the Austrian Anschluss in March 1938, so Sweden advanced automatically.
