The Allsvenskan is the current highest tier of men's domestic rugby union club competition in Sweden. As of 2026 the competition is run as a round robin league over two regional divisions. Cross-division placement finals take place at season's end to determine final ranking, which includes the Grand Final to crown the champion.
In previous years a higher national SuperAllsvenskan competition took place, however after organisational and logisitical difficulties adversely affected the 2025 edition, this is not currently scheduled to run in 2026.
The first Swedish championship took place in 1943 and was won by the rugby division of IK Göta from Stockholm. The 2026 season will feature twelve teams in two regional divisions, plus a further five teams in Division 1 North.
Since its foundation 12 teams have been crowned Swedish Rugby Champions. The most successful Swedish club is Stockholm Exiles RFC who have won the championship title, known as SM-Guld, 21 times. Nearby Enköpings RK have won 20 times, while Pingvin RC, based in Trelleborg, have won 12 times.
Due to Sweden's Nordic climate, rugby seasons run in the summer, with games usually taking place on Saturdays between May and October, with a break around Midsommar.
Several players from the Allsvenskan have won caps at international level for Sweden.
