The 2006 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship was the 76th staging of the competition since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.
Traditionally the four provincial championship winners face each other at the All-Ireland semi-final stage.
As the Ulster GAA council did not hold a provincial championship, the fourth semi-final spot was filled by overseas representatives Warwickshire, winners of the 2006 All-Britain Junior Football Championship.
Kerry's victory in the final, against Roscommon on 30 July, was the county's 14th in the history of the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship.
