The Speedway World Cup is a motorcycle speedway event for national teams held in different countries.[1] The first edition of the competition in the current format was held in 2001 and replaced the old World Team Cup which ran from 1960 until 2000.[2][3] The competition was held annually until 2017 when it was replaced by the Speedway of Nations pairs event. The Speedway World Cup returned in 2023 and will be held every three years.[4]
