The 2005 English cricket season was the 106th in which the County Championship had been an official competition.

The cup competitions gave them lower final placings,however - in the C&G Trophy,they were knocked out in the first round by Derbyshire,and without internationals Mike Hussey and Paul Collingwood,who played in the NatWest Series,they lost five of eight matches in the group stages in the Twenty20 Cup to finish fifth in the North Division.
