The 13th Eurovision Young Musicians final was held at the Rathausplatz in Vienna, Austria on 12 May 2006. This was the first time that the competition was held on a open air stage and was the beginning of the annual Vienna Festival. Austrian public broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF) was the host broadcaster for the event, having previously hosted in 1990 and 1998.

Candidates representing each participating European Broadcasting Union (EBU) member state participated in the semi-final. The semi-final round was held on 7 and 8 May 2006 at the Vienna Konzerthaus. Out of these candidates the seven best were selected by an international jury to perform live as finalists in the show at the Rathausplatz on 12 May 2006.
