The 2005 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship was the 75th staging of the competition since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.
Traditionally the four provincial championship winners face each other at the All-Ireland semi-final stage.
As the Ulster GAA council did not hold a provincial championship, the fourth semi-final spot was filled by overseas representatives London.
Cork's victory in the final against Meath on 30 July, was the county's 13th in the history of the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship.[1]
