List of Norwegian bandy champions

This list of Norwegian bandy champions shows all champions since the start. Championship for men's teams have been played since 1912, championship for women's teams have been played since 1984.

The winner of the men's teams championship is given a trophy called kongepokal ("king's cyp"). The team having won the most championships is Stabæk IF, having won 20 championships including the one in 2014, overtaking Drafn’s 19 that year. A kongepokal was also given to the women's teams champions 1986–1995, but has since not been awarded the women champions because of too few participating teams in the championship tournament.

The Norwegian Bandy Premier League for men's team (Eliteserien) has been played since 1932 and consists (for the time being) of eight teams. After the regular league, the six leading of the league teams go to a play-off which decides what team will be the Norwegian champion. The premier league for women's teams consists of six teams and the four top teams go to a play-off for the championship.

From the start in 1912, bandy in Norway was played with seven players on each team and was called «ishockey» (literally "ice hockey"), but the sport was actually bandy. Starting in 1929, eleven-man teams have been used, just as in other countries, and the same year Norges Ishockeyforbund was renamed Norges Bandyforbund. The women's championships has been played with teams with fewer players from the official start in 1984, but the number of players has gradually been raised; since 2010 the women's championships is played with nine-player teams.
