The 2005 NCAA Division I baseball tournament was held from May 30 through June 26, .

Rather than play both games of the championship round on the third day (usually Sunday) of the tournament, the "if necessary" championship game would be played on the fourth day of the tournament (usually Monday), allowing a team in the loser's bracket to rest some of its pitchers for a winner-take-all contest. The home-state Nebraska Cornhuskers won their first College World Series game after going winless in their previous two appearances. Texas went undefeated in the College World Series, earning its spot in the championship series with a w ...
