Finnish ringette teams warming up for a game in Finland's semi-pro league, SM Ringette, formerly known as Ringeten SM-sarja [fi]

SM Ringette, previously "Ringeten SM-sarja [fi]", is the elite semi-professional ringette league in Finland's first division and its highest. The league features the best ringette players in Finland and is run by Ringette Finland.[1][2][3] The league was known as Ringeten SM-sarja [fi] until it was rebranded in 2021 and is known as the "Finnish National Ringette League" by English speakers. The National Ringette League (NRL) is its Canadian equivalent.

The league has been in operation since the 1987–88 winter season and a number of its clubs competed in the Ringette World Club Championship when the international club tournament existed. Several of the league's players have played for the Finland national ringette team at the World Ringette Championships including Marjukka Virta, Anne Pohjola, and Susanna Tapani.
