The European Under-21 Individual Speedway Championship was an annual speedway event organised by FIM Europe (formerly the European Motorcycle Union (UEM)) from 1977 to 1988 and again from 2013 to 2020.
Championship history Between 1977 and 1988 the FIM organised the European Under-21 Championship. After deciding to allow non-European competitors, the competition was renamed the Speedway Under-21 World Championship.
The European U21 Championship returned between 2013 and 2020, when the European Under-19 Individual Speedway Championship was expanded to include riders up to the age of 21 years of age.
The under-21 event was discontinued in 2021.
