  2. ↑ First place through to fourth place qualify for the 2007 A-League Finals Series.
  3. ↑ Sydney FC were penalised three competition points following round 18 due to salary cap breaches which occurred during the 2005–06 season
  4. ↑ New Zealand Knights cannot qualify for the 2008 AFC Champions League as they are not recognised as an AFC club.
