## Notes

[edit]

1. ^ a b 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. ^ a b c d e f Tie breaker is goal average.
3. ^ The goal at 56' is also reported as an own goal by Axel Alfredsson.
