The 2005 NECBL All-Star Game was the 12th exhibition game between all-stars from the NECBL's Northern and the Southern Divisions. The Southern All-Stars held off the Northern All-Stars 7-2. Chris Cates of the North Adams SteepleCats was named the game's MVP.
The contest was the first league all-star game hosted by the Newport Gulls at Cardines Field (Newport later hosted the 2010 NECBL All-Star Game), the franchise having existed since 1999. It was broadcast on local television.

Famous quotes containing the word game:
“My first big mistake was made when, in a moment of weakness, I consented to learn the game; for a man who can frankly say “I do not play bridge” is allowed to go over in the corner and run the pianola by himself, while the poor neophyte, no matter how much he may protest that he isn’t “at all a good player, in fact I’m perfectly rotten,” is never believed, but dragged into a game where it is discovered, too late, that he spoke the truth.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
