The Scandinavian Indoor Championships [2] also known as the Scandinavian Covered Court Championships [3] and the Scandinavian Indoor Open [4] was a combined men's and women's tennis tournament held from 1936 through 1979.
The tournament was created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Swedish Lawn Tennis Association and was first held on the indoor courts of the B-Hall in Stockholm. The location of the tournament alternated between the four Scandinavian capitals Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm and Oslo and the event was usually held at the end of January or the beginning of February. The competitors were mainly European players. The tournament struggled in Open Era, the mixed doubles event was cancelled in 1971, and the championships were abolished in 1979.[5]
