Following a five-week break after the German Grand Prix — during which the Oulton Park Gold Cup saw Jackie Stewart claim victory — the Formula One field reconvened at Monza for the Italian Grand Prix, the ninth of twelve rounds in the 1968 world championship season.
On 8 September 1968, Denny Hulme drove his McLaren to victory over 68 laps at the Monza Autodrome despite starting from seventh position on the grid. Johnny Servoz-Gavin took second for Matra, and Jacky Ickx secured third place for Ferrari.
Hulme's victory contributed points to both the 1968 World Championship of Drivers and the International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers standings, with three rounds remaining in the season after this result.
