# Team Sweden (roller derby)

Team Sweden represents Sweden in women's international roller derby. The team was first formed to compete at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup, and finished the tournament in sixth place.

Sweden's first bout was on 8 October 2011, against Team Finland in Helsinki, in what Stockholm Roller Derby claimed was "the world's first Roller Derby bout between two nations". Sweden won by 135 points to 71. One of the team's skaters predicted that Sweden would finish in the top five at the World Cup.

At the World Cup, Sweden lost their quarter final to Australia by 126 points to 80, then beat New Zealand and lost to Finland in the consolations stage, to finish in sixth place.
