The2006Victorian Football League (VFL) is a semi-professionalAustralian Rules Football competition featuring 12 teams fromVictoria and one team fromTasmania.

It was the 125th season of theAustralian rules football competition.

Prior to the 2006 season, theVFL–AFL reserves affiliation which had existed for the previous three seasons betweenNorth Melbourne andPort Melbourne was terminated. In its place, North Melbourne arranged to be affiliated with bothNorth Ballarat andTasmania, with half of its reserves players allocated to each team. Port Melbourne continued as a stand-alone senior team in the competition.^[1]

As a result, the competition stayed constant at thirteen teams: ten VFL–AFL affiliations, one AFL reserves team (Geelong) and two stand-alone VFL teams (Port Melbourne andFrankston).

Prior to the season,Springvale came to an arrangement with theCity of Casey to relocate to the newCasey Fields multi-sports complex inCranbourne East. The club changed its name to the Casey Scorpions.^[2]
