In the early 1850s Royal Swedish Yacht Club yachts Sverige and Aurora Borealis participated in races in England, and in 1854, the yacht club organised its first regatta with prizes.[2] In 1895, Royal Swedish Yacht Club sailed together to Finland and participated in the Sinebrychoff Cup, which they won.[2] In 1898, Royal Swedish Yacht Club sailors participated in a regatta in Norway, and in Kiel Week the year after.[2] In 1912, the Royal Swedish Yacht Club organised the sailing event at the 1912 Summer Olympics.[2]

The first Round Gotland Race was organised 7–9 July 1937 with 42 participating boats on a 250 nautical miles (460 km; 290 mi) course starting and finishing in Visby.[3]
