It consisted of 33 teams and began on Saturday 7 May 2005. Few surprises came during the championship with the dominance of the Ulster teams evident once again. Gaelic football's "Big Three" of this era – Armagh, Kerry, Tyrone – all progressed to the semi-finals.Colm Keys http://www.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/why-gaelics-big-three-dwarf-the-rest-25964469.html Why Gaelic's BIG THREE dwarf the rest Irish Independent 3 September 2005 3 September 2005Colm Keys http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-football/kernan-fears-end-is-nigh-for-armagh-stars-25997739.html Kernan fears end is nigh for Armagh stars Irish Independent 2 February 2005 2 February 2005 Armagh will be on a bookies shortlist of three with Kerry and Tyrone for All-Ireland glory this year, but he fears his team's longevity is not guaranteed. The Championship concluded on Sunday 25 September 2005 when Tyrone defeated Kerry, who were playing in their second consecutive All-Ireland Final, by a scoreline of 1–16 to 2–10. Tyrone had to play ten games (including three replays) in order to win the Championship – more than any other team before or since. Format Since the introduction of the so-called "back-door" system a few years ago, a number of changes have taken place in the championship format. In 2005 the following system was used. The provincial championships in Munster, Leinster, Ulster and Connacht ran as usual on a "knock-out" basis. These provincial games were then followed by the "Qualifier" system: Round 1 of the qualifiers included all the counties that did not qualify for the Provincial Semi-finals. An open draw was made to give eight pairings. Round 2 consisted of the eight defeated teams in the Provincial Semi-finals playing against the eight winners from Round 1. A draw was made to determine the eight pairings. Round 3 Consisted of the 8 winners from Round 2 playing each other in an open draw format. Round 4 consisted of each of the four teams defeated in the Provincial Finals shall playing against the four winners from Round 3. A draw was made to determine the four pairings. The All-Ireland Quarter-finals: Each of the four Provincial Champions played one of the four winners from Round 4. The All-Ireland Semi-finals shall be on a Provincial rots basis, initially determined by the Central Council. If a Provincial Championship winning team is defeated in its Quarter-final, the team that defeats it shall take its place in the semi-final.
