1960 Speedway World Team Cup
1960 Speedway World Team Cup was the first FIM Speedway World Team Cup season. The final took place in Gothenburg, Sweden. The World Champion title was won by Sweden team who beat England, Czechoslovakia and Poland.
Sweden's reigning World Champion Ove Fundin went through the entire World Team Cup undefeated. This feat would not be matched until Australia's Jason Crump went through the 2001 Speedway World Cup undefeated. To honour Fundin's deeds in 1960, the winners of the current Speedway World Cup receive the Ove Fundin Trophy.
