Played at the France Pétanque Club, Sydney, Australia
Dates: Saturday 14 & Sunday 15 May, 2005
Australia became the first country to win the event on home soil and as a consequence the first country to retain the Trans Tasman Trophy.
It was a double celebration as Australia also won the inaugural Trans Tasman Senior Challenge for players over 60 years of age.
