The 1905 men's lacrosse team claimed the Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (ILA) national championship for the second consecutive year and finished the campaign with a 7-1 record. The Garnet outscored its opponents 67 to 28 and routed perennial contender Johns Hopkins by a 16-4 margin. The team also posted wins over Cornell, Harvard, and the University of Pennsylvania with its only loss coming to the University of Toronto, the Canadian national champion. Eight of the Garnet's 12 starters also played for the 1904 national championship team, including Philip E. Lamb, who was enshrined in the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1965.
