Notes
edit- ^ 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.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u Tie breaker is goal average.
- ^ Austria were unable to compete at the 1938 World Cup after the Austrian Anschluss in March 1938, so Sweden advanced automatically.
