The 2006 OFC Women's U-20 Championship was the 3rd edition of the OFC U-20 Women's Championship, a biennial international football competition for women's under-20 national teams organised by Oceania Football Confederation. The final tournament was hosted for the first time in Samoa from 31 March–8 April 2006.

Players born on or after 1 January 1986 were eligible to participate in the competition. Holders Australia were not eligible to defend their title after moving into the Asian Football Confederation.
