The 1906 Vanderbilt Cup was a motor race held on a 29.7 mile street circuit on Long Island, New York on October 6, 1906.

Photo of the finish. This is the first photographic record of a checkered flag finish, which had been introduced earlier that same year at the Glidden Tour.

Just like the 1906 Vanderbilt Elimination Race, this race was stopped as the crowd invaded the course.[1]
