It was the 26th official World Cup season in cross-country skiing for men and women.

The season began on 28 October 2006 with 800m sprint races for women in Düsseldorf which was eventually won by Marit Bjørgen of Norway.

The inaugural Tour de Ski was supposed to start with the meet at Nové Město, but due to lack of snow the first two events were cancelled.
