	Amerivision Song Contest

The Amerivision Song Contest 2005 was the fiftieth edition of the annual Amerivision Song Contest, organised by the American Broadcasting Union (ABU), host broadcaster Televicentro. The edition was hosted in the Estadio Olímpico del IND Managua, in Managua, Nicaragua, as the country earned the right to host the event by winning the previous edition.

Host picking

Nicaragua had no suitable venues to host the contest, however, the government started a plan to construct a retractable roof in the Estadio Olímpico del IND Managua in order to host the contest, which was accepted by the ABU.

Participating countries

The Netherlands Antilles and Paraguay withdrew from this edition, Paraguay did so due to unsatisfying results in the previous two editions and the Netherlands Antilles for unspecified reasons.
