The Continental final was a Motorcycle speedway final sanctioned by the FIM as the qualifying round for the Speedway World Championship between 1976 and 2000.
From 1952 to 1975 it acted as the final qualifier for the Championship round or European final but from 1976 to 1990 it was upgraded in stature and acted as a final qualifier for the World Championship final itself. It was not held from 1991 to 1994 and then from 1995 to 2001 it acted as a final qualifier for the Speedway Grand Prix or Grand Prix Challenge.
