The 2005 UCI Oceania Tour was the first season of the UCI Oceania Tour. The season began on 18 January 2005 with the Tour Down Under and ended on 30 January 2005 with the Tour of Wellington.

The points leader, based on the cumulative results of previous races, wears the UCI Oceania Tour cycling jersey. Robert McLachlan of Australia was crowned as the 2005 UCI Oceania Tour champion.

Throughout the season, points are awarded to the top finishers of stages within stage races and the final general classification standings of each of the stages races and one-day events. The quality and complexity of a race also determines how many points are awarded to the top finishers, the higher the UCI rating of a race, the more points are awarded.[citation needed] The UCI ratings from highest to lowest are as follows:

  • Multi-day events: 2.HC, 2.1 and 2.2
  • One-day events: 1.HC, 1.1 and 1.2
