L.League 2005 (L2)

The L2 division, expanded to seven teams in 2005 with the addition of INAC Leonessa, ran from April 10th until November 3rd. INAC Leonessa became the second Kobe-based club in the league.


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 teams would again play each other thrice.

Newcomers INAC Leonessa won the division at the first attempt and were automatically promoted.

JEF United Ichihara Ladies were renamed JEF United Ichihara Chiba Ladies, in keeping with their parent J.League club's renaming.
