Well, it's obviously in the north east of England - however because the county is so large parts of it end up in several different neighbouring jurisdictions.
By some definitions the parts of Yorkshire south of the River Humber are in the East Midlands.
Northern parts of the county are served by Northumbrian Police.
Small areas along the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire boundaries are served by Anglian Water or Seven Trent Water.
Most of southern Yorkshire is served by the Trent Area Health Authority....at one stage the local health authority here in Doncaster was merged with South Humber based at Scunthorpe, but we've now joined with Bassetlaw in north Nottinghamshire.
Some western areas have Lancashire postcodes and quite a large part of the North Riding has a Darlington [Co. Durham] postcode.
Some train services out of Sheffield are/were operated by North West Trains and the main line to London is called the 'Midland Main Line.'
The variety of the Yorkshire Dialect spoken in the West Riding is actually classified as a Midlands dialect.
A major naval battle of the American War of Independence [Battle of Flamborough Head] was fought off the Yorkshire coast.
