The 2004–05 Iraqi Premier League kicked off on October 20, 2004. Due to the War in Iraq, many games were suspended during duration, postponed, or cancelled.
The 36 teams were split into four groups. At the end of the group stage, the top three teams from each group (a total of 12 teams), advanced to the second round, while the bottom three in each group were demoted to the lower division.
In the second round, the 12 teams were split into four groups of three, with teams playing home and away against each team in their group respectively. The top team in each of the four groups moved on to the playoffs. The four remaining teams contested two-legged semi-finals to determine who played for the championship game; a single match held in Baghdad. Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya won their fifth Premier League title with a 2–0 victory over Al-Minaa.[1]
