The 2006/07 season was the fourth year of the [[Elite One Championship]], the top-level [[rugby league]] [[French Championship]]. The season commenced on 6 October 2006. Like the previous season, there were 11 teams with one team missing a round each week. A total of 22 rounds were played, with the last finishing on 18 April 2007, before the top four [[Pia XIII]], [[Toulouse Olympique]], [[Lézignan Sangliers]] and [[Saint-Gaudens Bears]] progressed to the play-offs. Pia XIII beat Lézignan Sangliers in the Grand Final 20-16 which was played at [[Colomiers]]. That win completed a double for Pia XIII as they had already lifted the [[Lord Derby Cup]] beating [[AS Carcassonne]] 30-14. [[Lyon Villeurbanne XIII]] finished bottom, finishing with 23 points but it was  [[Villefranche XIII Aveyron]] who'd finished 9th who were relegated to the [[Elite Two Championship]], replaced by [[RC Albi]].
