The 6th Micronesian Games were held on Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands from June 23-July 2, 2006. The Games featured competition in 15 different sports/disciplines.

In February 2006, the Games were canceled by the Governor of the Northern Marianas, Benigno R. Fitial, due to a financial crisis and a lack of planning. However, after pleas from athletes, coaches and parents, and the creation of a financial plan, the Games were allowed to go on.{{cite web|url=https://www.saipantribune.com/index.php/a65e748f-1dfb-11e4-aedf-250bc8c9958e/|title=Micronesian Games is a go|date=February 24, 2006|website=Saipan Tribune|language=en-us|access-date=March 19, 2023|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170301093734/http://www.saipantribune.com/index.php/a65e748f-1dfb-11e4-aedf-250bc8c9958e/|archive-date=March 1, 2017}}
