Bidding

In February 2004, Hälsingland expressed its interest for hosting the tournament, with the final game intended to be played inside the Edsbyn Arena to avoid being affected by weather conditions.

Dalarna, Gothenburg, Stockholm and Västerås also expressed interest in hosting the championship. On 27 November 2004, the Swedish Bandy Association announced that the tournament would be played either in Dalarna or in Stockholm. On 14 January 2005, it was announced that Stockholm would host the event.
