The 2005 NCAA Bowling Championship was the second annual tournament to determine the national champion of women's NCAA collegiate ten-pin bowling. The tournament was played at Wekiva Lanes in Orlando, Florida during April 2005.[1]
Nebraska defeated Central Missouri State in the championship match, 4 games to 2, to win their second consecutive national title. This was a rematch of the previous year's final, also won by Nebraska. The Cornhuskers were coached by Bill Straub.[2]
The tournament's Most outstanding bowler was Amanda Burgoyne from Nebraska. An All-tournament team of five bowlers was also named.
