The European Under-19 Individual Speedway Championship is an annual speedway event organised by FIM Europe (formerly the European Motorcycle Union (UEM)) since 1998.

Championship history

The European Under-19 Championship was inaugurated in 1998, under the control of the European Motorcycle Union (UEM). Between 2013 and 2020, it was known as the European Under-21 Individual Speedway Championship, when it was expanded to include riders up to the age of 21 years of age.

The European Under-19 Championship returned in 2017 and was staged concurrently until the Under-21 event was discontinued in 2021.[1]
