The 2007 Royal Trophy was the second edition of the Royal Trophy, a team golf event contested between teams representing Asia and Europe. It was held from 12–14 January at the Amata Spring Country Club in Thailand. Europe retained the trophy with an emphatic 12½–3½ victory, prompting suggestions that it might be desirable to even up the contest by having Europe play a combined team representing Asia and Australasia.{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/golf/6260335.stm |title=Europe cruise to Royal Trophy win |work=BBC Sport |date=14 January 2007 |accessdate=2010-01-10}}
