The Italy speedway team first competed in the Speedway World Team Cup during the 1970 Speedway World Team Cup, finishing fourth in the Continental quarter final round. [1] After missing the 1972 and 1973 events, the team were ever present from 1973 to 2000. [2] However, they were one of the weaker nations and failed to reach a final during the years that the competition was known as the World Team Cup. [3] [4]
The team experienced a better record in the World Pairs Championship, hosting the final in 1984 and then reaching six finals from 1986 to 1992. [5]
Since 2001, Italy have failed to make an impact in the World Cup or the Speedway of Nations introduced in 2018. They have however won a gold medal in the European Pairs during the 2016 European Pairs Speedway Championship, with Nicolás Covatti and Nicolas Vicentin. [6] [7]
