In the regular season, all teams played each other three times. The playoff stage was changed slightly (reverting back to the old format used during the 2004 season), with the top three teams now going through to the playoffs (as opposed to the previous season's five).[1]

In the playoff system, the games are broken up into two rounds.
The second place team plays the third place team to make the Grand Final.
The Premiers (i.e. winners of the regular stage), receive a bye straight to the Grand Final, where they face the winners from the Elimination Final.
The champions of the 2006-07 New Zealand Football Championship and the league runners-up, will go on to represent New Zealand in the OFC Champions League 2008
