The 1974 Speedway World Pairs Championship was the fifth official FIM Speedway World Pairs Championship.[1] The final took place at the Hyde Road Speedway in Belle Vue, Manchester, England.[2][3] The championship was won by Sweden (28 points) from Australia (23 pts) and New Zealand (21 pts).[4][5] Host nation England, represented by Peter Collins and Dave Jessup, finished 4th with 21 points.[6]

Swedish rider Anders Michanek, who successfully defended his World Pairs crown at this meeting, completed the double later in 1974 when he won the Individual World Championship.
