Norwegian Premier League (Tippeligaen)

Main article: Norwegian Premier League 2005

Vålerenga won the 2005 Premier League, while Aalesunds FK and FK Bodø/Glimt were relegated. Molde FK had to play two qualification matches against number Moss in the first division (for the last spot in next year's season. Molde won the qualification matches.

The greatest surprises of the 2005 season were the great performance of IK Start, promoted to the Premier League in the 2004 season and ended up winning silver, and the disappointing performance of Rosenborg BK which fought against relegation from the Premier League after winning it for 13 straight seasons.

The season ended on a sad note as Fredrikstad's Dagfinn Enerly got a serious neck injury in the last round match against Start.
