The '''2005 Currie Cup''' (known as the ''ABSA Currie Cup'' for sponsorship reasons) was the 67th season in the [[South Africa]]n [[Currie Cup]] competition since it started in 1889.

In a rematch of the [[2004 Currie Cup Premier Division|2004]] final, the {{Rut|Free State Cheetahs}} reversed the result, coming from behind to defeat the {{Rut|Blue Bulls}} 29–25 and win their first Currie Cup since [[1976 Currie Cup|1976]].

==Qualification round==

===Competition===
The fourteen provincial teams were divided in two equal strength sections (Section X and Section Y) according to the standings of the teams at the end of the [[2004 Currie Cup|2004]] competition.

All the teams played a single round of games within their section, meaning every team played six matches – three at home and three away.

Teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored 4 or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by 7 points or less. Teams were ranked by points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top four teams in each section qualified to the [[#Premier Division|Premier Division]], while the bottom three teams in each section qualified to the [[#First Division|First Division]]. No points from the qualifying round were carried over to the Premier Division or First Division.

==Premier Division==

===Competition===
The eight teams that qualified to the Premier Division remained in the same sections (Section X and Section Y) as they were during the qualifying round.

All the teams played a double round of games against teams in the other section, meaning every team played eight matches – four at home and four away.

Teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored 4 or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by 7 points or less. Teams were ranked by points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top two teams in each section qualified to the title play-offs, where the section winners would have home advantage against the runners-up.

==First Division==

===Competition===
The six teams that qualified to the First Division remained in the same sections (Section X and Section Y) as they were during the qualifying round.

All the teams played a double round of games against teams in the other section, meaning every team played six matches – three at home and three away.

Teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored 4 or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by 7 points or less. Teams were ranked by points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top two teams in each section qualified to the title play-offs, where the section winners would have home advantage against the runners-up in the same section.
