Dates	17 February – 10 September
Meetings	34 (+1 final)

The series hosted the same number of meetings as the previous year. The Helsinki Grand Prix was restored to the Grand Prix circuit after skipping 2004, while the Adidas Oregon Track Classic was dropped from the Grand Prix II category. Three meetings changed venue from 2003: the Bislett Games returned to Oslo from Bergen following stadium developments, the Athens Grand Prix Tsiklitiria was moved from Heraklion to Athens, and the Norwich Union Super Grand Prix moved from Gateshead to Sheffield.^[1]

Performances on designated events on the circuit earned athletes points which qualified them for entry to the 2005 IAAF World Athletics Final, held on 9–10 September Monaco.^[2]

The IAAF World Outdoor Meetings circuit was replaced by the IAAF World Athletics Tour the following year.
