The 1967 Yorkshire Cup was the sixtieth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.
Hull KR won the trophy by beating Hull F.C. by the score of 9-6
The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 16,729 and receipts were £5,515
This final was a repeat of the 1920-21 final, in the only other final, to date, to be contested by the two clubs, and in which Hull KR also defeated local neighbours and fierce rivals Hull F.C. in a closely contested match. In 1920 the score was 2-0; this time it was almost as close.
This is also the second consecutive year in which Hull Kingston Rovers had won the trophy
