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 (probably) most scored goals.
  3. Since extra time, aggregate score and the away goals rule was not used, a third match played on neutral ground decided the play-off.
  4. A final replay was played as the first final ended in a draw.
