The 2006–07 Senior Women's One Day League was the inaugural edition of the women's List A cricket competition in India. It took place between November 2006 and January 2007, with 24 teams divided into five regional groups. Railways won the tournament, beating Maharashtra in the final.

Competition format The 24 teams competing in the tournament were divided into five zonal groups: Central, East, North, South and West. The tournament operated on a round-robin format, with each team playing every other team in their group once. The top two sides from each group progressed to the knockout stages. Matches were played using a 50 over format.

The groups worked on a points system with positions in the groups based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:

Win: 4 points. Tie: 2 points. Loss: –1 points. No result/abandoned: 2 points. Bonus points: 1 point available per match. Consolation points: 1 point available per match.

If points in the final table were equal, teams were separated by most wins, then head-to-head record, then number of bonus points, then net run rate.
