The Nordic National Team is the professional Quidditch team representing the Nordic region of Europe. The team competed in the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, where they successfully advanced to the quarter-finals. In their quarter-final match, the Nordic team played against the Transylvanian team. Ludo Bagman later referred to this game as a “real cliffhanger.” The final outcome of the match is not stated, though it is mentioned separately that Transylvania knocked the English National Team out of the tournament in the quarter-finals.

The Nordic National Team is mentioned in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to provide background and colour to the Quidditch World Cup event. Their match against Transylvania and, most notably, their use of Huldras as mascots serve to illustrate the international scope and diversity of the wizarding world. The disruptive behaviour of their mascots, who tried to lure away the referee, Hassan Mostafa, adds a moment of humour and chaos to the description of the tournament.

While not a physical location, the team is composed of the following known elements:

• Team Roster: The specific names of the Nordic National Team's players are not recorded in the novels.
• Mascots: The team was famously supported by a troupe of Huldras, described as exceptionally beautiful women with long, fair hair who concealed cow's tails. Their alluring nature proved to be a distraction during the match.

The Nordic National Team is a playable team in the Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup video game. (video game) In the game, their home stadium is depicted as a Viking longship embedded in a frozen fjord, and their team robes are blue and white. (video game)
