The 2006 season of the Toppserien , the highest women's football (soccer) league in Norway, began on 6 May 2006 and ended on 28 October 2006.

The Toppserien is the top level of women's association football in Norway. It was founded in 1984.

Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe whose territory comprises the western and northernmost portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula; the remote island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard are also part of the Kingdom of Norway. The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the kingdom. Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land.
