Ringette Finland, (Finnish: Suomen Ringetteliitto ry)[2] is the national governing body for the sport of ringette in Finland and was founded in 1983. It is responsible for the organization and promotion ringette on a nationwide basis and organizes Finland's semi-professional ringette league, SM Ringette, formerly known as Ringeten SM-sarja [fi]. In 1986 the organization became a member of the International Ringette Federation which at the time was known as the "World Ringette Council".
Ringette Finland is also responsible for scouting ringette talent in the country to create the Finland national ringette teams for both Team Finland Senior and Team Finland Junior who then compete at the World Ringette Championships.
Ringette was brought to Finland in 1979 by Juhani Wahlsten and the first ringette clubs in Finland were established in Turku. Players now participate in 31 ringette clubs, with important clubs in Naantali, Turku, Uusikaupunki, Lahti, and Greater Helsinki.[3] The first international ringette tournament was hosted in Finland in 1986 and was sponsored by Finnair.[4][5]
Today, the Finnish Ringette Coaches Association (Finnish: Suomen Ringettevalmentajat ry (SRiV)) is the sports association for Finnish ringette coaches.[6]
