Notes
  1. 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 1953–54 season, and a championship was instead played to decide the best team in Norrland.
  2. 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.
