The 2005 season was the 100th season of competitive football in Norway.
VÃÂ¥lerenga 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 great performance of IK Start, promoted to the Tippeligaen in the 2004 season and ended up winning silver, and the disappointing 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.
Molde beat Lillestrøm 4âÂÂ2 (after extra time) in the final held November 6 at Ullevaal Stadion.
Kolbotn won the league in front of Team Strømmen and Fløya. Kattem were relegated together with Asker who was forcibly relegated due to economic license issues.
Arna-Bjørnar and Amazon Grimstad were promoted to Toppserien.
No Norwegian representative this season.
