The Sweden national ringette team (Swedish: Sverige ringette landslaget), more commonly known as "Team Sweden", is the ringette team representing Sweden internationally. Sweden has both a senior national ringette team and a junior national ringette team. Both Team Sweden Senior and Team Sweden Junior are overseen by the Sweden Ringette Association (SRA), (Swedish: Svenska Ringetteförbundet) and compete in the World Ringette Championships (WRC). The SRA is a member of the International Ringette Federation (IRF). Sweden's first appearance in international ringette took place at the second World Ringette Championships in 1992. Team USA is Team Sweden's arch-rival with both teams competing in the President's Pool against Team Czech.
Though Sweden joined the IRF in 1986, which at the time was known as the "World Ringette Council", the Sweden Ringette Association was not formed until 1994, then was elected as an associate member of the Swedish Sports Confederation in 2003.[1]
