The '''2005–06 Heineken Cup''' was the eleventh edition of the European [[Heineken Cup]] rugby union club tournament. 24 teams from 7 countries took part, with the opening game played on Friday October 21, 2005. [[Munster Rugby|Munster]] won the tournament, beating [[Biarritz Olympique|Biarritz]] in the final held at Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, on 20 May 2006.

The teams were divided into six pools of four, in which teams played home and away matches against each other. The winners of the pools, together with the two best runners-up, qualified for the knock-out stage.

==Format==
In the pool matches, teams receive:
* four points for a win
* two points for a draw
* a bonus point for scoring four or more tries
* a bonus point for losing by seven or fewer points

Ties between two teams are broken in the following order:
# ''Match points earned in head-to-head matches.'' For example, if tied teams are in the same pool, and split their head-to-head matches, but one team earned a bonus point and the other failed to do so, the team that earned the bonus point will win. [[Munster Rugby|Munster]] won a tiebreaker over [[Sale Sharks]] in Pool 1 in this very manner.
# ''Tries scored in head-to-head matches.''
# ''Point difference in head-to-head matches.''
# ''Tries scored in all pool matches.'' This is the first tiebreaker between teams in different pools, which can come into play for determining seeding among first-place teams, or breaking ties among second-place teams.
# ''Point difference in all pool matches.''
# ''Best disciplinary record in pool play.'' The team with the fewest players sent off or sin-binned during pool play wins.
# ''Coin toss.''

The quarterfinals are seeded from 1 to 8. The six pool winners receive the top six seeds, based on their point totals. The top two-second-place finishers are seeded 7 and 8. The seeds of the qualifying teams are in parentheses next to their names in the tables.
