Svenska Cupen

Svenska Cupen, unlike Allsvenskan, spans over two seasons, with qualification in the fall and group stage and final stages in the spring. Therefore, IFK Norrköping will compete in both 2014–15 Svenska Cupen (group stage and final stages) and 2015–16 Svenska Cupen (qualification for next year group stage and final stages) for the 2015 season.

2014–15 Svenska Cupen

2014–15 Svenska Cupen were played during the fall in 2014 and in the spring of 2015, with the first two rounds in 2014 and the group stage and final stages in the beginning of 2015.

Group stage

IFK Norrköping were drawn in a group with Djurgårdens IF (first tier), Ängelholms FF (second tier) and Norrby IF (third tier) with the winner of the group advancing to the final stages (quarter-finals). IFK Norrköping won their first two matches against Norrby IF and Ängelholms FF, which was enough to win the group (on goal differential) despite losing to Djurgårdens IF in the last match. This meant IFK Norrköping advanced to the final stages.

Knockout stage

IFK Norrköping qualified for the knockout stage as group stage winners, but they were unseeded in the quarter-final draw because they were not one of the four teams with the best record in the group stage. All of the winners in the group stage were teams that would be participating in 2015 Allsvenskan, so IFK Norrköping was drawn against BK Häcken in a draw with many tough opponents (especially since being unseeded). BK Häcken had the advantage of playing at home since they were the seeded team and, despite scoring the first goal, IFK Norrköping was not able to defeat BK Häcken away from home and lost with the final score 3–1. It was Gunnar Heiðar Þorvaldsson, who previously played for IFK Norrköping, that scored a brace for BK Häcken to turn the match around, and Simon Gustafson ended the scoring with the 3–1 goal.

2015–16 Svenska Cupen will be played during the fall in 2015 and in the spring of 2016, with the first two rounds in 2015 and the group stage and final stages in the beginning of 2016.

Round 2

IFK Norrköping entered Svenska Cupen in the second round (all teams from top tier Allsvenskan and second tier Superettan receive bye to this round). They were seeded in the draw together with all the other teams from Allsvenskan and Superettan, and they were drawn against Akropolis IF from Division 1 (fourth tier). The match was played on 20 August 2015 and it ended as a 5–0 win for IFK Norrköping, who qualified for the group stage to be played in the beginning of the next season.
