Three bobsleigh events were competed at the 2006 Winter Olympics, at the Cesana Pariol venue.

[1] The events used the newly built Cesana Pariol track measuring 1435 metres with 19 curves, a vertical change of 114 metres, and an approximate top speed of 130 kilometres per hour.

The qualification was based on the results of pilots, with other members of a bobsleigh crew being selected by their National Olympic Committees.

The four man event qualification was identical except that the World Cup season qualifies only 20 pilots.

The two-woman event allowed the top 15 pilots from the World Cup 2005–2006 season.
