The 2006 Haarlem Baseball Week was an international baseball competition held at the Pim Mulier Stadium in Haarlem, the Netherlands from July 21 to 30, 2006. It was the 23rd edition of the tournament and featured teams from China, Chinese Taipei, Cuba, Japan, Netherlands and United States.

Most countries did not send their top players to the tournament. The U.S. team was made up of college players from the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges.[1] Japan's team includes players from its non-professional Industrial League.[2] Cuba sent its reserve squad, due to the Central American and Caribbean Games occurring at the same time.[3] However, most of China's players from the 2006 World Baseball Classic competed in the tournament.[4]

The Netherlands won their second straight title and swept all the individual awards.[5]
