Future Olympic champion Kevin Martin won the men's event,[2] while 2006 Olympic bronze medalist Shannon Kleibrink won the women's event, which aided her path to reach the Olympics. She had already qualified for the Trials, so the runner-up Jan Betker rink earned a berth.[3]

The total purse for the event was $180,000. Martin's team won $37,750, while Team Kleibrink took home $37,250.

While it was the third edition of the Canada Cup, the 2005 event was the first to be a part of Curling Canada's Season of Champions programme.[4]
