Knockout Cup (speedway)




Knockout Cup (sometimes referred to as the KO Cup) is a British motorcycle speedway competition run annually since 1929.[1]


Each division has its own respective Knockout Cup. The current Knockout Cup competitions are the Premiership Knockout Cup (tier one), the Championship Knockout Cup (tier two) and the National League Knockout Cup (tier three).[2]


The cups have been run in the past under the associated name of the League. For example Elite League Knockout Cup when tier one was the Elite League, a Premier League Knockout Cup when tier two was the Premier League and so on.
