1905 WAFA Season

These are the results for the 1905 season of the West Australian Football Association (currently known as the West Australian Football League).

It featured seventeen rounds in a double round-robin format with three qualifying rounds that excluded the team that was placed last on the ladder after the first fourteen rounds. Each team received two byes. It should be noted that teams did not necessarily play their matches following the same order as the nominal round numbers of those matches this season. It should also be noted that this season featured a peculiarity wherein West Perth and Midland Junction played their postponed regular season match after the finals had begun. This was because the finals system in place gave special privileges to the minor premiers and the recipient of this title depended on the results of this match. West Perth were the minor premiers.

The season ended with a finals series following the First Amended Argus system. West Perth were the premiers.
