The 2005 Men's Australian Hockey League was the 15th edition women's field hockey tournament. The tournament was held in various cities across Australia, and was contested from 25 February through to 3 April 2005.[1]
The NSW Waratahs won the tournament for the third time after defeating the QLD Blades 4–3 in the final. WA Thundersticks finished in third place after defeating the Azuma Vikings 6–2 in the third and fourth place playoff.[2]
Participating teams
Competition format
The 2005 Men's Australian Hockey League consisted of a single round robin format, followed by classification matches.
Teams from all 8 states and territories competed against one another throughout the pool stage. At the conclusion of the pool stage, the top four ranked teams progressed to the semi-finals, while the bottom four teams continued to the classification stage.
The first four rounds of the pool stage comprised two-legged fixtures between states. As a result, matches in rounds five to seven of the pool stage were worth double points, due to the single-leg format.

Every match in the 2005 AHL needed an outright result. In the event of a draw, golden goal extra time was played out, and if the result was still a draw a penalty shoot-out was contested, with the winner receiving a bonus point.
