Competition format
The 2005 Women's Australian Hockey League consisted of a single round robin format, followed by classification matches.
Teams from all 8 states and territories competed against one another throughout the pool stage. At the conclusion of the pool stage, the top four ranked teams progressed to the semi-finals, while the bottom four teams continued to the classification stage.
The first four rounds of the pool stage comprised two-legged fixtures based on aggregate scores to determine point allocation.
