Hurst was selected for [[UEFA Euro 1968]], but did not play as England lost 1–0 to [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]] in the semi-final.

Hurst scored his second international hat-trick on 12 March 1969, in a 5–0 victory over [[France national football team|France]], and was named in the Ramsey squad which played in [[Mexico]] to defend the World Cup in [[1970 FIFA World Cup|1970]].<ref>{{harvnb|Hurst|Hart|2002|p=179}}</ref> He scored the only goal of England's opening game against [[Romania national football team|Romania]] after being sent through by a pass from [[Francis Lee (footballer)|Francis Lee]].<ref>{{harvnb|Hurst|Hart|2002|p=198}}</ref> England progressed to the quarter-finals, where once again they faced West Germany. Hurst played a part in the [[Martin Peters]] goal that put England 2–0 up. With England up 2–1, Hurst's contested header trickled inches past the post. Later, at 2–2, Hurst had what many thought was a legitimate goal ruled out for offside.<ref>England: The Official F.A History, Niall Edworthy, Virgin Publishers, 1997, {{ISBN|1-85227-699-1}}.</ref> The West Germans scored in extra time and won 3–2.<ref>{{harvnb|Hurst|Hart|2002|p=206}}</ref>
