It was the final Olympic qualifying competition for the 2006 Winter Olympics. Skaters who placed high enough qualified a spot to the Olympics for their country; there was no individual skater qualification. Countries who had already qualified a spot to the Olympics at the 2005 World Figure Skating Championships were not eligible to qualify more spots here, and their results were discounted from the overall results when allotting spots to countries. Unlike at the World Championships, where countries could qualify more than one spot depending on the placement of the skater, at this competition, countries who qualified were allotted only one spot to the Olympics, regardless of placement.

Qualified countries

There were six spots available in men's singles and pairs, eight spots in ladies' singles, and five in ice dancing. The following countries qualified skaters in the following disciplines.

Men	Ladies	Pairs	Ice dancing
Czech Republic	China	France	Lithuania
Slovenia	North Korea	Bulgaria	Azerbaijan
Georgia	Luxembourg	North Korea	Germany
North Korea	Georgia	Estonia	Japan
Austria	Estonia	Uzbekistan	Armenia
Ukraine	Romania	Hungary
Hungary	Uzbekistan
	Slovakia

Some countries were later given spots based on their performance at this competition after countries who had qualified Olympic spots informed the ISU that they would not be filled.
