The 2006 Women's County One-Day Championship was the 10th cricket Women's County Championship season. It ran from May to August and saw 27 county teams plus Wales compete in a series of divisions. Kent Women won the County Championship as winners of the top division, achieving the first Championship title.

Competition format

Teams played matches within a series of divisions with the winners of the top division being crowned County Champions. Matches were played using a one day format with 50 overs per side.

The championship works on a points system with positions within the divisions being based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:

Win: 20 points.
Tie: 15 points.
Loss: Bonus points.
No Result: 4 points.
Abandoned: 4 points.

Up to four batting and four bowling points were available to the losing side only, or both sides in an incomplete match.

Teams

The 2006 Championship was divided into two tiers: the County Championship and the County Challenge Cup. The County Championship consisted of three divisions of four teams, whilst the Challenge Cup consisted of four groups of four teams, on equal standing, with the winners proceeding to a play-off round for promotion to the County Championship.

Teams in the County Championship played each other twice, whilst teams in the Challenge Cup played each other once.
