An English team raised by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) toured New Zealand between December 1906 and March 1907 to play two first-class matches versus the New Zealand national cricket team.

The MCC team was captained by Teddy Wynyard and included future Test players like Johnny Douglas and George Simpson-Hayward.
