The 2006 Budweiser UK Open was the fourth year of the UK Open darts tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. It was held at the Reebok Stadium, Bolton, between 9–11 June 2006.

Phil Taylor was the defending champion but got knocked out at the quarter-final stage by Raymond van Barneveld. Van Barneveld went on to win the title, winning 13–7 against Barrie Bates in the final.

Format

Qualifying events were held at Greene King pubs across the UK – winners from each pub event progressed to one of four Regional Finals, to be staged in their relevant area. Players who reach the final eight in the Regional Finals will qualify for the televised stages of the UK Open in Bolton.

In addition there were eight UK Open Regional Finals for the "professional" players. All events were open to all darts players on payment of an entry fee – which means that players from both the PDC and BDO were eligible to enter. Players who enter through the Greene King Qualifying Round were not eligible to play in the regional qualifying events and vice versa.

The results of the eight qualifiers were then collated into an Order of Merit table (Winner £4000; Runner-up £2000; 3–4 £1000; 5–8 £500; 9–16 £250; 17–32 £100; 33–64 £50). The top 96 players plus ties in this Order of Merit join the 32 Greene King qualifiers at the televised stages in Bolton.

1st round

Players who were ranked between 65 and 96 in the UK Open Order of Merit join the 32 Greene King qualifiers in the first round of the UK Open.

2nd round

Players ranked 33 to 64 join the first round winners.

3rd round

Players ranked in the top 32 join the second round winners.
