1904–05 FA Cup England Aston Villa (4th title) Newcastle United 1903–04 1905–06 The 1904–05 FA Cup was the 34th season of the world's oldest association football competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup (more usually known as the FA Cup). Aston Villa won the competition for the fourth time, beating Newcastle United 2–0 in the final at Crystal Palace, through two goals scored by Harry Hampton. The man of the match was Aston Villa's prolific scorer Billy Garraty, who was born only a few miles from the now Villa Park. Matches were scheduled to be played at the stadium of the team named first on the date specified for each round, which was always a Saturday. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played, a replay would take place at the stadium of the second-named team later the same week. If the replayed match was drawn further replays would be held at neutral venues until a winner was determined. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played in a replay, a 30-minute period of extra time would be played.

Kent League club Sheppey United matched the achievement of Leytonstone in the previous season's competition by winning through to the third qualifying round before being defeated by Hastings & St Leonards. The Football Association also introduced a sixth qualifying round in this year's tournament to allow more Football League clubs to be exempted to a later stage. However, the ten clubs winning through to the Intermediate Round from the sixth qualifying round were Bradford City, Blackpool, Barnsley, Chesterfield, Lincoln City, Gainsborough Trinity and Leicester Fosse from the Football League Second Division and Fulham, Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion from the Southern League. While Brighton & Hove Albion and Bradford City were appearing at this stage for the first time, this was the first FA Cup tournament since the establishment of the Southern League in 1894 not to feature any teams from outside that organisation or the Football League in the main rounds. Intermediate Round The Intermediate Round featured ten games played between the winners from the sixth qualifying round and ten teams given byes. Manchester United, Bristol City, West Bromwich Albion, Burnley and Grimsby Town from the Second Division were entered automatically into this round, as were Reading, Portsmouth, Bristol Rovers, Plymouth Argyle and Millwall of the Southern League. The other Second Division sides had to gain entry to this round through the qualifying rounds. Glossop, Blackpool, Burton United, Gainsborough Trinity, Leicester Fosse and Doncaster Rovers were entered in the third qualifying round stage with only Blackpool, Leicester and Gainsborough reaching the Intermediate Round. Chesterfield, Barnsley, Bradford City, Lincoln City and Burslem Port Vale were all entered in the sixth qualifying round, with only the latter losing in that round.
