The 1974 Speedway World Pairs Championship was the fifth FIM Speedway World Pairs Championship. The final took place at the Hyde Road Speedway in Belle Vue, Manchester, England.[1][2] The championship was won by Sweden (28 points) from Australia (23 pts) and New Zealand (21 pts).[3][4] Host nation England, represented by Peter Collins and Dave Jessup, finished 4th with 21 points.[5]
