Abstract: Let $ k$ be a field, let $ L_n = k[x_1^{\pm 1}, \dots, x_n^{\pm 1}]$ be the Laurent polynomial ring in $ n$ variables and let $ G$ be a finite group of $ k$-algebra automorphisms of $ L_n$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the ring of invariants $ L_n^G$ to have a SAGBI basis. We show that if this condition is satisfied, then $ L_n^G$ has a SAGBI basis relative to any choice of coordinates in $ L_n$ and any term order.
