The 2004β05 Irish First Division was the tenth season of second-tier football in Northern Ireland under the league system at the time. The division consisted of 12 clubs.
Armagh City were the champions and were promoted to the 2005β06 Irish Premier League. Glenavon finished second and entered the promotion play-off, defeating Crusaders 3β2 on aggregate and gaining promotion. Ballinamallard United were relegated to the Irish Second Division. Ballymoney United were also due to be relegated, but were given a reprieve due to Omagh Town (who were relegated from the Premier League) going out of business. [1]
