The tournament consists of 16 teams, with the winner going on to represent Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage. The knock-out stages of the championship were surrounded by controversy as Navan O'Mahonysl, were expelled from the championship due to the use of an extra substitute in extra-time of the semi-final. The game started in controversy too as Dunboyne had full forward Robbie Brennan sent off in contested circumstances after 5 minutes following a clash with Meath player Kevin Reilly. Having missed a first half penalty, 14 man Dunboyne led at the end of regular time but a last minute point in injury time put the game into extra time. Having 14 men for the whole semi final appeared to catch up with Dunboyne and O Mahony's ran out winners by 2 points in an ill tempered game. However having used 2 subs in normal time, the Navan club were permitted to use 3 more in extra-time but used 4. What was more galling for the Navan club was that the illegal player failed to even touch the ball late on in their two-point win. Having been advised by the Meath County board officials of the infraction at the game, Dunboyne left the decision to the Meath County Board who then asked Dunboyne to offer a replay following a campaign from the O'Mahony's club. O'Mahonys appealed their expulsion to the Meath County Board and later to the Leinster Council. On 6 October 2005, the GAA's Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA) upheld the ruling of both boards after a 4 hour meeting at Navan's Ardboyne Hotel. Navan O'Mahonys, who themselves lost twice in the group stages earlier, were left with the unique achievement of being the only club to beat the eventual champions twice in the one campaign. Skryne were the defending champions after they defeated Simonstown Gaels in the previous years final. Wolfe Tones were promoted after claiming the 2004 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title, their first Intermediate win. On 9 October 2005, St. Peter's Dunboyne claimed their 2nd Senior Championship title when they defeated Blackhall Gaels 1-8 to 0-8 in a keenly fought local derby game. Denis Gallagher raised the Keegan Cup for Dunboyne while Ger Robinson claimed the 'Man of the Match' award. Dunderry were relegated after 15 years in the senior grade.
