The junior championships for club teams (juniormästerskap för klubblag, also junior-SM or JSM) for boys have been played since 1982, but the competition had several unofficial precursors.[1][2] A cup tournament, Allsvenska ungdomscupen, was played from 1945 to 1976, and was open to member clubs of the Swedish Professional Football Leagues.[1] The title unofficial junior champions was awarded to the winners of the tournament, which was discontinued when the newspaper Expressen withdrew their sponsorship.[2] For the years between 1949 and 1958, the winner of this cup also played a national final (Riksfinal) against the winners of the Norrland junior championships (Norrländska juniormästerskapen).[1]

The Swedish Professional Football Leagues also arranged a league starting in 1971, Allsvenska ungdomsserien, only open to youth teams of Allsvenskan clubs. A champion was decided through a final match between group winners, and was open to all Swedish Professional Football Leagues members from 1977.[1] This league was sometimes also called Allsvenska utvecklingsserien,[1] and saw continued play in parallel to the in 1982 introduced official junior championships, initially played in a strict cup format.[3]

In 1990, the youth league was rebranded as Juniorallsvenskan,[4] and the play-off following the league replaced the separate cup tournament as the competition to decide the official junior champions.[5] As of 2021, the championship is played in league format, currently named P19 Allsvenskan, consisting of two regional groups of 15 teams, followed by a final between the two winning teams to determine the junior champions.[6] From 2022, the league format will be changed to consist of a single group of 14 teams.[6]

From 1982 until 2008, the championships were played with an age limit of 18, but from 2009 on the age limit has been 19.[7]
