The 2004–05 Irish Premier League was the 104th edition of the Irish League, the highest level of league competition in Northern Irish football, and the 2nd edition in its current format (as the Irish Premier League) since its inception in 2003. The league consisted of 16 teams, and Glentoran won the championship.

Summary

Omagh Town were relegated after finishing bottom of the table and subsequently dissolved on 7 June 2005 owing to financial problems. Crusaders were relegated after a 3-1 defeat on aggregate to Glenavon in the promotion play-off.
