1994 Speedway World Team Cup

The 1994 Speedway World Team Cup was the 35th edition of the FIM Speedway World Team Cup to determine the team world champions.[1][2]

The format changed after the World Team Cup merged with the Speedway World Pairs Championship. Teams now consisted of just two riders with a reserve rider available if needed.

The final took place on 18 September at the Holsteinring at Brokstedt in Germany. Sweden won their seventh title, which was their first for 24 years since the 1970 Speedway World Team Cup.[3][4][5]
