The 1905 MJFA season, also known as the 1905 MFA season, was the 14th season of the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA). [a]
Port Rovers won the MJFA premiership for the first time, finishing first on the ladder with 15 wins from its 18 games. [7] [8]
Like the previous season in 1904, a total of ten teams competed in the MJFA. [9] On 30 April 1905, prior to the start of the season, Boroondara merged with Hawthorn. [10] Hawthorn retained its own name, but adopted Boroondara's colours of a black guernsey with a red sash. [11]
The University Football Club, which had fielded a reserves team in the MJFA during the 1893 season, returned to the competition with a senior team. [5] [12]
