Vitória de Setúbal were the previous holders, having defeated Benfica 2–1, in the previous season's final. However, Vitória de Setúbal was not able to regain their title as they were defeated in the final by Porto. Porto defeated Vitória de Setúbal, 1–0 to win their fourth title in seven seasons and claim their 13th Taça de Portugal in their history.
Since Porto had already qualified for the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League as domestic title holders, Vitória by reaching the final of the Taça de Portugal, had guaranteed a place in the 2006–07 UEFA Cup. As Porto won both the league and cup in the same season, Vitória would qualify for the 2006 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira as the cup runner-up.
