The 1904–05 season was Tottenham's ninth season as a fully professional club and the 22nd year in existence. They competed in two leagues, the main being the Southern Football League with a midweek game in the Western League along with competing in the FA Cup.
In the Southern League Tottenham had an inconsistent season but did enough to finish the season in fifth place. There were two standout games that occurred in December, beating first Swindon Town 6–3 and then thumping Wellingborough 8–1.
In the Western League campaign Tottenham won their first three games but after that their form dropped and they only managed two more wins in the season. As seasons end they were in eighth place.
In the FA Cup Tottenham were drawn away against Middlesbrough in the first round. The first match was a 1–1 draw and required a reply at White Hart Lane which Spurs won 1–0. In the next round Tottenham were drawn in a home tie against Newcastle United. This also finished in a 1–1 draw and in the reply at Newcastle they lost 4–0.
