Abstract: We give a complete answer to the question of when the cosets of a Steiner subloop $\bar W$ of a Steiner loop $\bar V$ form a partition of $\bar V$. We also determine when $\bar W$ is a normal subloop of $\bar V$.

Keywords and phrases: Steiner triple system, Steiner loop, coset, normal subloop.
