The 1906 Iowa Hawkeyes football team was an American football team that represented the State University of Iowa (now known as the University of Iowa), sometimes referred to at the time by the acronym "S.U.I.", as a member of the Western Conference (now known as the Big Ten Conference) during the 1906 college football season. In their first year under head coach Mark Catlin Sr., the Hawkeyes compiled a 2–3 record (0–1 in conference games), finished in a three-way tie for last place in the Western Conference, and were outscored by a total of 75 to 45.

Contents

The Western Conference in 1906 adopted a number of reforms, including a rule limiting member schools to only five intercollegiate football games each year. Conference members had played as many as 11 or 12 games in 1905, but all member schools were limited to five games for the 1906 season. [3]

Iowa played its home games at Iowa Field in Iowa City, Iowa.
