Group Stage
The Group Stage of the fifth Sealand Cup ran from 22 February to 8 March 2006.
Format
All teams played together in a modified Swiss-system group, playing three matches. Teams that did not compete during the first round could enter the competition for the second round. Matches were played until there was a winner, with 3 points being awarded for a win and 0 points for a loss. One match, however, finished in a draw with no extra time being played. Both teams were awarded 1 point. All goals (including goals scored in extra time or during a penalty shoot-out) were taken in contention for the goal difference. The eight highest-ranked teams after three rounds advanced to the quarterfinals.
Round One
- Thirteen teams participated in this round. Because there was an odd numer of participants, De Houtense Boys did not play.
