The 2005 Richmond Kickers season was the club's thirteenth season in existence. The club played in the USL First Division, which represented the second-tier of American soccer.

Playing in the second tier of American soccer for the past nine seasons, this season was the Kickers' final season of playing in the second tier, as the club self-relegated themselves starting the following season. The reasons primarily emphasized financial stability, stating that the club would be more profitable in the third division rather than the second.
