The U.S. team for the 2005 World Wrestling Championships was determined during the Championship Series at the World Team Trials, held at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa, June 19.
Each of the team members had to win a best-of-three series to earn a spot on the team. Competition was in the three international styles of the sport, men's freestyle, men's Greco-Roman and women's freestyle wrestling.
All but two of the Championship Series were completed in two straight matches. The only two series to be extended to three bouts occurred in men's Greco-Roman wrestling. In both of those series, the athlete who lost the first match came back with two wins in a row to win the series, two matches to one.
