The 2006 Møbelringen Cup was held in Hamar, Gjøvik and Lillehammer, Norway. The tournament started on 24 November 2006 and finished on 26 November. Norway won the event by winning all their matches. Russia who also won their first two matches, was beaten in the last match of the tournament, when Norway won by 29-26.

After Norway won the tournament, Norway's coach Marit Breivik had to decline suggestions that Norway were favourites for the European Championships in December.[1] Regardless, Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten said that Russia were no longer the major favourites for the EC.[2]
