L.League 2005 (L1)

In 2005 the L1 division again consisted of eight teams, and its season ran from April 9th until November 3rd.


The league was a straightforward round robin tournament, again using the system of three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The season was longer than in 2004 due to the lack of a major international tournament, with all teams playing each other thrice.

YKK Tohoku Flappers moved south from Miyagi to Fukushima and were taken over by TEPCO. The club was renamed TEPCO Mareeze. Saitama Reinas were renamed Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies, as a result of becoming part of the Urawa Red Diamonds J.League club.

NTV Beleza won their eighth title, and first since 2002.

Having finished bottom, Takarazuka Bunnys Ladies were automatically relegated to L2.
