2006 hockey league
The 2006 Men's Australian Hockey League was the 16th edition of the men's field hockey tournament. The tournament was held from 17 April through to 21 May 2006 at various venues, before culminating in Hobart for the finals.

Participating teams
Competition format
The 2006 Men's Australian Hockey League consisted of a single round robin format, followed by classification matches.
Teams from all 8 states and territories competed against one another throughout the pool stage. At the conclusion of the pool stage, the top four ranked teams progressed to the semi-finals, while the bottom four teams continued to the classification stage.
The first four rounds of the pool stage comprised two-legged fixtures between states. As a result, matches in rounds five to seven of the pool stage were worth double points, due to the single-leg format.
Point allocation
Every match in the 2006 AHL needed an outright result. In the event of a draw, golden goal extra time was played out, and if the result was still a draw a penalty shoot-out was contested, with the winner receiving a bonus point.
