1960 Speedway World Team Cup was the first edition of the FIM Speedway World Team Cup to determine the team world champions.[1] The final took place in Gothenburg, Sweden. The World Champion title was won by Sweden team (44 pts) who beat England (30 pts), Czechoslovakia (15 pts) and Poland (7 pts).[2][3][4]
Sweden's reigning World Champion Ove Fundin went through the entire World Team Cup undefeated.[5] This feat would not be matched until Australia's Jason Crump went through the 2001 Speedway World Cup undefeated.[6] To honour Fundin's deeds in 1960, the winners of the current Speedway World Cup (which replaced the Team World Cup in 2001) receive the Ove Fundin Trophy.
