The '''2005 Algarve Cup''' was the 12th edition of the [[Algarve Cup]], an invitational [[Women's association football|women's football]] tournament held annually in [[Portugal]]. It took place from 9 to 15 March 2005. The USA won the tournament defeating Germany, 1–0, in the final-game. The tournament victory was the fourth for the US, and their third in a row.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/national/2005-03-15-us-win-algarve_x.htm|title=US beats Germany to win third straight Algarve Cup|work=USA Today|first=Dirk |last=Hinrichs|date=16 March 2005|accessdate=2 February 2017}}</ref>

==Format== The twelve invited teams were split into three groups that played a [[round-robin tournament]].

Since the expansion to 12 teams in 2002, the Algarve Cup format had been as follows: '''Groups A''' and '''B''', containing the strongest ranked teams, were the only ones in contention to win the title. The group A and B winners contested the final – to win the Algarve Cup. The runners-up played for third place, and those that finish third in the groups played for fifth place. The teams in '''Group C''' played for places 7–12. The winner of Group C played the team that finished fourth in Group A or B (whichever has the better record) for seventh place. The Group C runner-up played the team who finishes last in Group A or B (with the worse record) for ninth place. The third and fourth-placed teams in Group C played for the eleventh place.

Points awarded in the group stage followed the standard formula of three points for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a loss. In the case of two teams being tied on the same number of points in a group, their head-to-head result determined the higher place.
