The CMLL International Gran Prix (2005) was a lucha libre, or professional wrestling, tournament produced and scripted by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; "World Wrestling Council" in Spanish) which took place on September 23, 2005 in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico, CMLL's main venue. The 2005 International Gran Prix was the eight time CMLL has held an International Gran Prix tournament since 1994. All International Gran Prix tournaments have been a one-night tournament, always as part of CMLL's Friday night CMLL Super Viernes shows.
The eight International Gran Prix tournament featured as 16-man Tornero Cibernetico with two teams of mixed Mexican and International wrestlers. The team division for the 2005 International Gran Prix is undocumented and thus uncertain, all that is certain is that the following wrestlers participated: Bronco, Último Dragón, Hijo del Santo, Rey Bucanero, Universo 2000, Olimpico, Tarzan Boy, Pierroth Hiroshi Tanahashi, Shinsuke Nakamura, Averno, Dr. Wagner Jr., Atlantis, Negro Casas, Perro Aguayo Jr. and Lizmark Jr. The international aspects were mainly provided by Tanahashi and Nakamura, on a Mexican tour from New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) at the time. The match came down to Atlantis and Perro Aguayo Jr. who were on the same team, in the end Atlantis pinned Perro Aguayo Jr. to win the Gran Prix.
