Al-Ittihad were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the semi-finals by Al-Hilal.[1]
Al-Hilal won their 5th title following a 2–1 win over Al-Qadisiyah in the final.[2]
The winner of the Crown Prince Cup earns automatic qualification to the 2006 AFC Champions League group stages. However, as Al-Hilal qualified for the AFC Champions League as league winners, Al-Shabab, the league runners-up, took this Champions League spot.
