The 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup was the second edition of the ICC Intercontinental Cup, a cricket competition for (then) 12 nations from Asia, Africa, North America and Europe. All the games were scheduled for three days and were designated first class.
The teams played each other team in each of the four groups once. The winners of each group progressed to a semi-final from 23 to 25 October, and then a final from 27 to 29 October, hosted by Namibia. The groups were as follows:[1]
- Africa: Kenya, Namibia, Uganda (won by Kenya)
- Asia: Hong Kong, Nepal, United Arab Emirates (won by the United Arab Emirates)
- Europe: Netherlands, Ireland, Scotland (won by Ireland)
- N America: Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Islands (won by Bermuda)
The United States were going to compete in the North American group, but were expelled from the competition by the ICC because of ongoing political problems within cricket in the US.
The tournament was won by Ireland who defeated Kenya in the final.
