Midland Cup (speedway)

The Midland Cup was a motorcycle speedway competition held in the United Kingdom from 1951 to 1987, that was restricted to teams from the Midlands area.

The competition was a significant competition at the time, due to the speedway teams from the Midlands being some of the leading teams in the United Kingdom (particularly in the 1980s).
