Under-18 All-Australian team
The 2005 Under-18 All-Australian team was named on 4 July 2005:

For the first time, the Under-18 All-Australian side was named in position to give balance and recognition to players that played terrific roles in defence, as well as players who were creative up forward, so it was not just a midfielders' side. It recognised players across the ground for their performance they put in throughout the Under 18 Championships.

The 2005 Under-18 All-Australian team selectors were: Kevin Sheehan (AFL Talent Manager), Alan McConnell (AIS-AFL High Performance Coach), James Fantasia (Adelaide Recruiting Manager), Kinnear Beatson (Brisbane Lions Recruiting Manager), Neville Stibbard (Kangaroos Recruiting Manager), Francis Jackson (Richmond Recruiting Officer)
