The '''2005 [[Tour de Georgia]]''' was the third annual [[bicycle road racing]] event held in the state of [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], United States. The six-day, six stage 550 mile (1033.4&nbsp;km) race was held April 19 through April 24, 2005 with the overall title and yellow jersey won by [[Tom Danielson]] of the {{UCI team code|DSC|2005}}. However, Danielson in 2012, was disqualified due to doping, along with a number of other riders. This left the first non-disqualified rider as Floyd Landis. 

New Zealander [[Greg Henderson]] ([[Health Net Pro Cycling Team Presented by Maxxis]]) claimed the points jersey for sprinters, while Discovery Channel's [[José Luis Rubiera]] won the [[King of the Mountains]] competition for climbers. [[Trent Lowe]] (Jittery Joe's&ndash;Kalahari) won the Best Young Rider (blue jersey) competition.
