==History==
The sports club that became IK Sirius was founded on 9 August 1907, and got its current name on 5 April 1908 after having been discussing Svartbäckens IK and IK Spurt.<ref name=1907-sa-borjade-det/> At the time, several sports club existed in the city of [[Uppsala]]: [[IFK Uppsala]], [[IF Thor]], [[IF Heimdal]], and [[Upsala IF]].<ref name=1907-sa-borjade-det>{{cite web | url=https://www.siriusfotboll.se/om-ik-sirius/historik/1907-sa-borjade-det/ | title=1907: Så började det }}</ref> The sports club was founded for [[sport of athletics|athletics]], and took up [[bandy]] in 1908.<ref name=nfs>{{cite encyclopedia |encyclopedia = [[Nordisk familjeboks sportlexikon: uppslagsverk för sport, gymnastik och friluftsliv]].

IK Sirius' first success was becoming Swedish runners-up in 1918, they followed this up by becoming Swedish champions twice in 1921 and 1922, but they then didn't have any more success in the league until 1926 where they were runners-up and they were also runners-up in 1928.

In the first year of bandy league system in Sweden, 1930–31, Sirius entered in [[Division 1 (bandy)|Division 1 Norra]] together with
