The Czechoslovakia speedway team (which consisted predominantly of Czech Republic riders) competed in the inaugural Speedway World Team Cup during the 1960 Speedway World Team Cup and won the bronze medal after finishing third in the final.

Following the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia at the end of 1992, the riders then competed for their new speedway nations of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

From 2001, the competition was rebranded the Speedway World Cup and the Czech Republic reached their fourth and fifth finals in 2002 and 2013.

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.
