The Rörstrand Ladies Open was an annual golf tournament held in Sweden. It was founded in 1991 and played annually through 1997 on the Telia Tour.
The tournament attracted top female Swedish golfers and in 1991 Marie Wennersten-From, winner of the Ladies European Tour's Mitsubishi Colt Cars Jersey Open in 1985, finished third and Åsa Gottmo, eventual winner of The Wales WPGA Championship of Europe, finished fifth.
1993 marked the tournament's peak, with many international players from the LET taking part, boasting a field including 13-time LET winner Corinne Dibnah, LET/LPGA winners Mardi Lunn, Carin Koch, Sofia Grönberg-Whitmore and that year's winner Dale Reid, a Scottish golfing legend with 21 European Tour victories. On the cusp of breaking through and become LPGA Rookie of the Year 1994, Annika Sörenstam finished 14th, 8 strokes behind Reid.
In 1998 Sophie Gustafson, who would go on to become LET Player of the Year 1998, won the tournament ahead of her maiden LET victory in Ladies Swiss Open three weeks later. Runner-up Maria Hjorth would soon go on to win five times on the LPGA Tour and play 5 Solheim Cups. Charlotta Sörenstam finished tied for 7th, 7 strokes behind Gustafson.
