Out of the five entries received for the Chamber Music category, only one group arrived to compete.

Tragedy struck both of the home country entries from Portugal, with one group having one of the players in hospital having their apendix removed, and the other, more tragically, had one member involved in a fatal car accident. The accident left one of the performers from the second Portuguese Chamber group in a coma for several days, while the same accident claimed the life of her close friend.

As a novel way of promoting the 2005 Coupe Mondiale in Castelo Branco, organizer Carlos Semedo had employees of one of the official Coupe Mondiale Restaurants 'Espito' pose with an accordion, and then had the pictures diplayed for patrons to see. All of the staff, including the cook took part in this promotion.

Place mats in this (and many other restaurants in Castelo Branco) used Coupe Mondiale placemats advertising the event. Pictured below are Espito staff members, as well as CIA delegates Faithe Deffner (USA) and Heather Masefield (New Zealand) admiring the picutres before dinner.
