2009 Norwegian Premier League

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tippeligaen is a Norwegian professional league for association football clubs. At the top of the Norwegian football league system, it is the country's primary football competition. The league is also unofficially known under its neutral name Eliteserien, although the name has never been official. The name of Norwegian football's top league has been subject for sponsoring since 1991 and Norsk Tipping has been the main sponsor of the League since then - hence the official name of the league. Between 1963 and 1990 the name of the league was 1. divisjon, a name that the second level league of the Norwegian football system 'inherited' in 1991. From the fall of 1948 to 1962 the top division of Norwegian football was called Hovedserien, and between 1937 and the summer of 1948, it was called Norgesserien.
