The women's football tournament was contested as part of the programme for the 2005 Island Games which was hosted in Shetland from 10 to 15 July 2005. It was the third edition of the women's football tournament at the multi-sport event organised by the International Island Games Association.

The football tournament consisted of one group with each team competing against each other in a match, with the highest ranked team after all of the matches winning the tournament. The Faroe Islands would win the tournament for their third straight women's tournament win. The second and third placers in the tournament were Åland and Bermuda respectively.

Background

A five-a-side youth football tournament was held at the inaugural games in 1985 held in Douglas, Isle of Man but football was completely absent from the programme at the 1987 Island Games held in Guernsey. The first women's football tournament was held at the 2001 Island Games in the Isle of Man. The Faroe Islands won the first two editions undefeated.[1]

Format

All of the six teams that competed in the women's tournament participated in one group. For the tournament, each team would compete against each other in a match. The highest ranked team after all of the matches were held would win the tournament.[2]
