The 2005 season was the 100th season of competitive football in Norway.
Men's football League season Tippeligaen
Vålerenga won the 2005 Tippeligaen, while Aalesunds FK and FK Bodø/Glimt were relegated. Molde FK had to play two qualification matches against Moss from the 1. divisjon. Molde won the qualification matches and maintained their position in Tippeligaen.
The greatest surprises of the 2005 season were the performance of IK Start, promoted to the Tippeligaen in the 2004 season and ended up winning silver, and the performance of Rosenborg BK which fought against relegation from the Tippeligaen 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.
