The Sweden Ringette Association, (Swedish: Svenska Ringetteförbundet) sometimes abbreviated in English as the "SRA", is the national governing body for the sport of ringette in Sweden and was founded in 1994.[1][2][3][4] The SRA is responsible for the promotion of ringette on a nationwide basis and organizes the country's elite national ringette competition, the Ringette Dam-SM, which was also established in 1994.[citation needed] In 2003, the SRA was elected as an associate member of the Swedish Sports Confederation (Swedish: Riksidrottsförbundet, RF).[citation needed]
Ringette was introduced to Sweden in the 1980s.[when?][by whom?] Before the SRA was established, members of the Sweden ringette community helped the country become a member of the International Ringette Federation in 1986, which at the time was known as the "World Ringette Council". The SRA is also responsible for scouting ringette talent in Sweden in order to create the Sweden national ringette team who then compete at the World Ringette Championships (WRC). The SRA organized the WRC in 1996 and 2004.[1]
Historically, while Team Sweden Senior has competed regularly since the 1992 World Ringette Championships, Team Sweden Junior has only competed occasionally, making their first world appearance at the 2016 World Ringette Championships. Team Sweden senior now competes in the Senior Pool, while Team Sweden Junior competes in the Junior Pool.
