Contrary to the competition regulations, which are recognised in the above league table, the results of the NZ Under-19s were not included in standings issued by NZ Soccer over the course of the 2005 Lion Foundation National Women's League campaign.
As a result, the three points Auckland earned for downing the NZ Under-19s weren't included in the published standings, meaning Capital Soccer finished as the top-ranked federation in the competition, and qualified as hosts of the Grand Final.
