AFL Premiership 2005 is a sports game developed by IR Gurus and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. A separate version for Microsoft Windows and Xbox was released by THQ. It is based on the Australian Football League (AFL) and is the ninth game in the AFL video game series.

Gameplay

The game features two modes: Season mode, where the player selects one of the 16 teams to play in the 2005 AFL season, and Career Mode, which includes the pre-season, home and away season, and finals. There is also, player trading, National AFL Draft and player development. AFL Tribunal is also used with in-game reports and suspensions. The company changed the annual numbering system for titles with the AFL Live Premiership Edition, but this edition would have been AFL Live 2006.
