The 2006 Seniors Torneo Godó was the first edition of the Seniors Torneo Godó and it took place from April 20–23, 2006.

Tie-breaks were used for the first two sets of each match, which was the best of three sets. If the score was tied at one set all, a 'Champions Tie-break' (the first player to win at least 10 points or by a margin of two points) would be used.

Sergi Bruguera won the inaugural edition by defeating Carlos Costa 6–1, 6–4 in the final.[1][2]

Draw

The list of players was confirmed on 10 April 2006. Marcelo Ríos, winner of the first two tournaments at Doha and Hong Kong, was initially considered but later discarded.[3]
