The 2005-06 season was the first season of the A-League, a domestic club competition for football (soccer) in Australia. After over 12 months without a national professional club competition, the first match in the A-League was played on 26 August 2005. The competition was made up of a triple round robin league stage before a championship playoff featuring the top four teams.

The first A-League Grand Final took place on 5 March 2006, with Sydney FC becoming the league's inaugural champions, defeating the Central Coast Mariners FC 1-0. Adelaide United FC were the named premiers after finishing the season seven points clear at the top of the league.
