The Norway national speedway team are one of the teams that compete in international team motorcycle speedway.
The Norwegian speedway team competed in the inaugural Speedway World Team Cup in 1960, finishing third in the Scandinavian round at Odense, Denmark. The team consisted of Aage Hansen, Rolf Mellerud, Nils Paulsen, Rolf Westerberg and Sverre Harrfeldt. [1] [2] [3] [4]
From 1960 to 1985, the team failed to qualify from their qualifying group during the World Cup, due to the fact that they were drawn together in qualifying with two of the world's strongest speedway nations, Denmark and Sweden. They did however win a bronze medal at the 1968 Speedway World Pairs Championship.
The World Team Cup system changed in 1986 but it was not until the 1991 Speedway World Team Cup that the team progressed from qualifying to round two. [5] During the same year of 1991, the team equalled their greatest feat, when winning a bronze medal at the 1991 Speedway World Pairs Championship.
The nation reached their first and only World Cup final to date in 1995. [6] In recent years, the nation has failed to qualify for the World Cup but did compete in the semi finals of the 2022 Speedway of Nations and reached the 2022 European Pairs Speedway Championship final.

Since the advent of the Speedway Grand Prix era, international caps earned by riders is largely restricted to international competitions, whereas previously test matches between two teams were a regular occurrence. This means that the number of caps earned by a rider has decreased in the modern era. [7]
