12 teams contested the championship, with Lochee United and Hutchison Vale, winners and third place respectively in the 2005–06 SWFL First Division (runners-up Vale of Clyde remained in the lower level), taking the places of relegated Cove Rangers and Queen's Park. Whitehill Welfare changed their name to Edinburgh Ladies.
Reigning champions Hibernian retained the title with a perfect record of 22 wins and by a margin of eight points ahead of Glasgow City, to qualify for the 2007–08 UEFA Women's Cup. It was their third SWPL title overall (and to date, their last). Hibs also won the 2006–07 Scottish Women's Cup to complete the 'double'.[3][4] Lochee United and Hutchison Vale (who only gained three points from their 22 fixtures) were relegated.[1]
