The 2006 International Rules Series (officially the 2006 Coca-Cola International Rules Series) is the 9th annual International Rules Series and the 15th time that a test series of international rules football has been played between Ireland and Australia.
The 2006 series involved two sell-out test matches, the first in Galway and the second in Dublin. Both of the matches were landmark matches for International Rules Tests in Ireland: the Galway test was the first International Rules Series match to be played under floodlights and the Dublin crowd was the largest crowd in the history of international sport in Ireland.
Both tests were again controversial due to the off-field actions of the Australian team and the on-field actions of both teams, as well as injury to several players from both sides.
