1939 Australian Track Cycling Championships

The 1939 Australian Track Cycling Championships were held on the board track at the Sydney Sports Arena from 25 February to 1 March 1939. This was the first time the Australian Championships were held at this track. The (amateur) championships coincided with a 'test match' between Australian and World cycling teams.[1] The 1939 championships also doubled as trials for the 1940 Summer Olympics (which were later cancelled due to World War II).[2]
