Format Revert

  • The regular stage winners win "Premiership" and qualify for Round 2 of the playoffs.

  • The teams finished 2nd to 3rd qualify for Round 1 of the playoffs.

  • Auckland City had their 1-0 victory overturned, and was stripped of three competition points, for fielding an ineligible player in the NZFC match against Waitakere United on 29 October. Their winning goal scored during the match was also forfeited as a result. Waitakere was declared winner of the match and awarded three points accordingly.[2][3] Waitakere United took advantage of the ruling, and went on to qualify for the 2007 Oceania Champions League on 19 November, as the first round leader (after the opening 7 games) of the NZFC ladder.[4]
