The Qantas Television Awards are presented by the New Zealand Television Broadcasters' Council. The inaugral event was staged on November 12, 2005.

Made up by New Zealand free-to-air broadcasters; TVNZ, CanWest TVWorks and Prime Television, the NZTBC created the awards to recognise New Zealand free-to-air television, including news and current events.

The awards include 31 peer-voted categories and also the publically voted The Woman's Day Readers' Choice TV Awards, which include an additional four categories, "Most Popular Male Personality", "Most Popular Female Personality", "Most Popular New Zealand Television Programme" and "Most Popular International Show".

The awards began at 6pm and were televised on TV One as a delayed coverage at 9:35pm on November 12, 2005. The televised awards only covered 17 of the 35 awards presented.

The awards show and most of the awards were presented by Petra Bagust and Jason Gunn, with additional awards presented by Helen Clark and Don Brash (or more specifically, parodies of them from the TV show Facelift), Oscar Kightley, Dave Fane, Jaquie Brown and Oliver Driver. Prime's Charlotte Dawson served as a backstage correspondent.
