The 2006–07 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was one of three first-class domestic cricket competitions that were held in Pakistan during the 2006–07 season. The Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was contested by thirteen teams representing regional associations;{{efn|name=structure|The top level of domestic cricket in Pakistan was historically played by teams representing regional cricket associations and departments, which were owned and run by corporations, institutions or government departments.}} it was preceded in the schedule by the Patron's Trophy (Grade-I), contested by nine departmental teams,{{efn|name=structure}} and followed later in the season by the Pentangular Cup, which unlike the previous year did not involve teams from the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.{{cite web |title=Pakistan's domestic structure gets a facelift |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/pakistan-s-domestic-structure-gets-a-facelift-251728 |website=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=25 February 2021 |date=28 June 2006}}

There was no change to the structure of the competition from the previous season, with seven teams in the Gold League and six teams in the Silver League. Each league was played in a round-robin of four-day matches beginning on 6 January 2007, with a final played over five days between the top two teams to determine the winner.{{cite web|url=https://www.pcb.com.pk/quaideazam-trophy-silver-league-200607/tournament/671.html |title=Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Silver League 2006/07 |work=Pakistan Cricket Board |access-date=31 March 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.pcb.com.pk/quaideazam-trophy-gold-league-200607/tournament/672.html |title=Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Gold League 2006/07 |work=Pakistan Cricket Board |access-date=31 March 2020}} The winner of the Gold League final received the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy; the winner of the Silver League final would have gained promotion to the Gold league, with the last placed team in the Gold League being relegated to the Silver League, but the Pakistan Cricket Board reorganised the regional associations and departments into a single competition for the following season.

Karachi Urban lifted the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, the eighteenth victory by a Karachi team, after they beat defending champions Sialkot by eight wickets in the Gold League final.{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22965121/karachi-urban-lift-quaid-e-azam-trophy |title=Karachi Urban lift Quaid-e-Azam Trophy |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=31 March 2020}} Multan won the Silver League final in a replay,{{cite web |title=Multan return to Gold League with convincing win |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/multan-return-to-gold-league-with-convincing-win-282389 |website=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=25 February 2021 |date=4 March 2007}} after the weather-affected first match ended in a draw with no result on first innings.{{cite web |title=Silver League final to be replayed |url=https://www.espn.com/cricket/story/_/id/22966702/silver-league-final-replayed |website=ESPN |access-date=25 February 2021 |date=13 February 2007}}

  • Win = 9 points
  • Win having trailed on first innings = 6 points
  • Draw having led on first innings = 3 points
  • Loss, draw having trailed on first innings, draw with no result based on the first innings, or abandoned without a ball bowled = 0 points
