Team Championship

For the fifth consecutive season Getingarna won division 1 and were declared the winners of the Swedish Speedway Team Championship. Despite Arne Carlsson retiring and losing Leif Larsson for the season the Getingarna team recruited well by gaining Anders Michanek and Leif Enecrona to support Göte Nordin and Bengt Jansson.[8][9]

Four divisions returned for the 1967 season with the addition of Dackarna (returning after missing 1966) and three other clubs; Bysarna, Vikingarna and Solkatterna.[10]

Indianerna won the second division, while Dackarna and Smederna won the third division east and west respectively.[11]
