They played in the now defunct USL First Division which in 2005 was rebranded from A-League and was the highest level of Canadian club soccer. 2005 was Bob Lilley's first season as head coach after Tony Fonseca was released to take on the new District Development Centre Technical Director position with the BCSA. http://www.canadasoccer.com/bc-soccer-and-whitecaps-fc-form-partnership-p144916 BC Soccer and Whitecaps FC Form Partnership canadasoccer.com – Around the Soccer World October 26, 2004 March 21, 2014 Under Tony Fonseca the Whitecaps had playoffs qualifications three straight years and advanced to the semifinals once. Part of the re-organization of BC youth soccer involved the Whitecaps expanding their youth program to ten Super Y League teams. The Whitecaps were one of only a few US or Canadian clubs with a complete youth system. MLS teams in 2005 did not have as extensive a club structure.http://supery.uslsoccer.com/teams/VancouverWhitecaps/98668.html Whitecaps Announce Super Y-League Rosters uslsoccer.com Demosphere International May 6, 2005 March 21, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140407093032/http://supery.uslsoccer.com/teams/VancouverWhitecaps/98668.html April 7, 2014 dead mdy-all They started the season strongly going undefeated in their first six matches. The Whitecaps were hard to beat all year and finished third in the league table. This was the ninth consecutive playoff appearance for the Whitecaps.

The schedule was not balanced; it was home and away against every team in the league with additional matches against Seattle, Portland, and Minnesota. Head to head results were the first tie-breaker. Average attendance increased for the fourth year in a row and was above 5,000 for the first time since 2001.http://pressbox.mlssoccer.com/sites/g/files/g211536/f/2011%20Vancouver%20Whitecaps%20FC%20Media%20Guide.pdf 2011 Whitecaps Media Guide Soccer United Marketing – Major League Soccer pg 16 March 11, 2014 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20160303211857/http://pressbox.mlssoccer.com/sites/g/files/g211536/f/2011%20Vancouver%20Whitecaps%20FC%20Media%20Guide.pdf March 3, 2016 Three double-headers were played with the Whitecaps Women of the USL W-League.
