Handbollsligan (women's)
Handbollsligan is the highest division of women's handball in Sweden.  The inaugural Elitserien season took place in 1951, with Kvinnliga IK Sport winning the championship.

The league currently consists of 12 teams. The eight top teams at the end of every season continue to the playoffs, in which the quarterfinals and semifinals are played as a best-of-five series, unlike the final which is played as a single match. The champion is awarded a spot in the EHF Women's Champions League's qualification stage.

Historically, the women's Elitserien was dominated by IK Sävehof, with 15 championships.

For the 2016–2017 season, the name of the league was changed to Svensk Handbollselit. Until then, it was called Elitserien () (). For the 2023–2024 season it changed name to "Handbollsligan", like the men's league.
