      History


      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. After missing the 1972 and 1973 events, the team were ever present from 1973 to 2000. 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.
      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.
      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.

      International caps (as of 2022)


      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.
