The 2006-07 Heineken Cup is an annual rugby union competition in Europe. The pool draw took place on June 21 at Twickenham. The pool stages started on October 20 and will finish in January, going for six rounds. Following the quarter and semi finals, the final will be played at the 82,000 redeveloped Twickenham in London.
Draw
The top seeds from each of the participant nations (France, England, Scotland, Italy, Wales and Ireland) were all drawn into separate pools. These top seeds were; Benetton Treviso (pool 1), Edinburgh (pool 2), Sale Sharks (pool 3), Cardiff Blues (pool 4), Ulster (pool 5) and Biarritz (pool 6). Rules state that no two sides from the same country could be allocated the same pool. However, the seventh French club Castres could be drawn into any pool. The draw took place on June 21. The greatest team representation is from France, which has seven teams participating in the tournament. England has the second largest representation with six teams. Ireland, Wales and Italy all have three teams, and Scotland have two.
Competition 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, regardless of the match result
- a bonus point for losing by seven or fewer points
Ties between two teams are broken in the following order:
- Competition 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.
- 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.

Team Pld W D L TF PF PA +/- BP Pts Munster 5 5 0 0 16 146 99 +47 2 22 Leicester Tigers 5 4 0 1 20 159 54 +105 3 19 Cardiff Blues 5 1 0 4 5 60 114 -54 1 5 Bourgoin 5 0 0 5 9 71 169 -98 2 2
Notes:
- The winner of the Munster-Leicester Tigers match in Round 6 will take top spot in the pool, barring one of these unlikely events:
- If Leicester win without earning a bonus point and Munster earn two bonus points (four tries and loss by 7 or fewer points), Munster would finish ahead of Leicester 24-23 on competition points.
- If Leicester win and Munster earn exactly one more bonus point than the Tigers, the two will be level on either 23 or 24 points, and would also be level on the first tiebreaker of head-to-head competition points. The next tiebreaker, head-to-head tries, would then go to the club which scored the most tries in their Round 6 match, as both scored a try apiece in their Round 1 encounter. If the teams score the same number of tries, the tiebreaker would then go to head-to-head points. In that instance, Leicester would finish atop the pool if their margin of victory is 2 points or more. A win by 3 points or more would give Leicester the edge in head-to-head points, while a 2-point Leicester win would trigger the next tiebreaker of overall point difference, which would go to Leicester.

Notes:
- Biarritz have secured a quarterfinal berth. They will clinch top spot in the pool if Northampton's result against Border Reivers is anything less than a bonus-point win. Even if Northampton score a bonus-point win, Biarritz will clinch the top spot if their result against Northampton in Round 6 is:
- A win.
- A draw.
- A loss in which they hold Northampton without a bonus point, or earn at least one bonus point themselves. The first tiebreaker is head-to-head competition points, and Biarritz picked up a bonus point against Northampton in Round 1 while denying the Saints a bonus point.
- A loss in which Northampton score four tries to Biarritz' three, but Biarritz fail to come within 7 points. This would leave the teams 5-5 on head-to-head competition points, but Biarritz would then win on the next tiebreaker of head-to-head tries (Biarritz 3+3=6, Northampton 1+4=5).
- Biarritz will also secure a home quarterfinal with either of the following:
- A win or draw against Northampton.
- A loss to Northampton in which Biarritz earn least one bonus point.
