Al-Hilal were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the semi-finals by Al-Ahli.[1]

Al-Ittihad won their record-extending seventh title following a 1–0 win over derby rivals Al-Ahli in the final.[2]

The winners of the competition would have earned a place in the group stage of the 2005 AFC Champions League. However, since Al-Ittihad went on to win the 2004 AFC Champions League, they qualified for the 2005 AFC Champions League as the titleholders. Since Al-Ittihad also finished runners-up in the league, Al-Ahli, the cup runners-up, took this Champions League spot.
