The 29th edition of the Wimbledon Championships took place in 1905 on the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Worple Road.

From this year on, the field of players in the tournament became much more international. Of a total of 71 players in the men's All-Comers competition, 16 were not from Great Britain, including Ferdinand Uhl, the first participant from Germany. In the women's tournament, May Sutton was the first non-British woman to win the tournament.
