The Hungary national speedway team are one of the teams that compete in international team motorcycle speedway.
The Hungarian speedway team first competed in the Speedway World Team Cup during the 1966 Speedway World Team Cup, finishing second in the Continental semi final round. [1] Throughout the history of World Team Cup, the team were ever present from 1966 to 2000. [2] However, they were one of the weaker nations and failed to reach a final for the first thirty years of the competition. [3] [4]
The team experienced a better record in the World Pairs Championship, reaching finals in 1972, 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1993. [5] The team's greatest success came in the 1990 final, when they won a shock bronze medal. [6]
It was not until 1996 that they appeared in their first World Team Cup final and then the following years in 1997 and 1998, repeated the achievement. Since 2001, Hungary have struggled and have in the majority of cases failed to qualify for the World Cup or the Speedway of Nations introduced in 2018. They have however won two medals at the European Pairs Speedway Championship, a bronze in 2006 and a silver in 2011.
