The 2005 AFC Cup was the second edition of the AFC Cup, played amongst clubs from nations of the AFC, who are considered to be 'developing countries' as per the 'Vision Asia' members paper of AFC President Mohamed Bin Hammam.

Al-Faisaly won the AFC Cup for the first time, beating Nejmeh 4–2 on aggregate in the final.

Al-Jaish were the defending champions but were unable to defend their title as Syria was promoted to a 'mature' status by the AFC, meaning its clubs would now compete in the AFC Champions League instead.

Teams

The AFC invited nine of the thirteen 'developing' nations to nominate one or two clubs to participate in the competition. Clubs from Myanmar, North Korea, Oman and Yemen were excluded from the competition.
