The France national speedway team is one of the nations who compete in international motorcycle speedway and is controlled by the French Motorcycling Federation.

The French speedway team were latecomers to the Speedway World Team Cup, missing the first three decades of the event before competing for the first time during the 1991 Speedway World Team Cup, finishing fourth in Group D (the fourth tier of the competition).^[1]

The team was one of the weaker nations and struggled to compete against the established nations. From 2001 (when the compeititon was rebranded as the Speedway World Cup) to 2011, France either failed to qualify for the second stage or did not enter a team due to the lack of competititive riders.^[2] The team began to improve their world ranking and reappeared in qualifying in 2012 and then nine years later in 2021, competing in the Speedway of Nations they reached their first major final.

Since the advent of the Speedway Grand Prix era, international caps earned by riders is largely restricted to international competitions, whereas previously test matches between two teams were a regular occurrence. This means that the number of caps earned by a rider has decreased in the modern era.^[3]
