The 10 Super Y-League 2005 North American Champions for the U13-U17 Boys and Girls were crowned Tuesday in Tampa, Florida at the Ed Radic Sports Complex with teams from nine different clubs raising the cup after three were decided via penalty kicks and one in overtime.

On a stormy Monday in Tampa, Florida, the intensity at the 2005 Super Y-League North American Finals went up a notch as the field had been narrowed down from its initial 128 teams in 10 brackets to 40 semifinalists. Four finals were set from the early semifinals before a thunderstorm rolled through both the Ed Radice Sports Complex and University of South Florida facilities forcing postponements of the semifinals and consolation games, but the action would resume to complete the field for the 10 games on Championship Tuesday. Two championship matches feature showdowns between unbeaten teams from the season and SYL Finals play while two others feature rematches of games from group play this week.
