Season summary

The League consisted of 15 teams for the 2005 season.

Two Hull Vikings home fixtures (versus Glasgow Tigers and King's Lynn Stars) were not ridden due to Hull being evicted from their track at Craven Park, Hull.

The League was run on a standard format with no play-offs and was won by the Rye House Rockets.
