Teams

edit

The 2005 2. deild karla was contested by ten clubs, six of which had played in the division during the previous season. 2004 champions KS and runners-up Víkingur Ólafsvík were promoted to the second tier; replacing them were Njarðvík and Stjarnan, both relegated from the 1. deild after finishing in the bottom two places at the end of the 2004 campaign.[2] Also joining the division were Fjarðabyggð and Huginn, who were promoted from the 3. deild through the play-offs.[3] Fjarðabyggð had reached the third tier of Icelandic football for the first time in their history after being founded in 2001.[4]
