The 2006 Voyageurs Cup was the fifth edition of the Voyageurs Cup tournament started by the Canadian supporters group The Voyageurs. [1] [2] The 2006 Edition of the tournament featured Montreal Impact, Toronto Lynx and Vancouver Whitecaps.
The 2006 Voyageurs Cup was won by Montreal Impact won by a single point in the table over the second place Toronto Lynx, clinching the competition in the final all-Canadian match of the 2006 USL season in a scoreless draw against the Linx on September 8, 2006.

Each team played two matches (home and away) against each other team. All of these matches were drawn from the USL First Division 2006 regular season.

In each match, 3 points were awarded for wins (even had it come in extra time), 1 point was awarded for a draw, and 0 points were awarded for losses (even had it come in extra time). The four teams were ranked according to the total number of points obtained in all matches. [4]
