Coupe de France

Niort entered the Coupe de France in the fifth round, in which they were handed an away tie at Division d'Honneur (sixth tier) club FC Chauray. The match finished 1–1 after 90 minutes and when the extra time period produced no further goals the game went to a penalty shoot-out, which Chauray won 4–3. This marked Niort's worst ever performance in the competition as a professional club.

Coupe de la Ligue

As one of the three clubs relegated from Ligue 2 at the end of the 2004–05 season, Niort were eligible to compete in the 2005–06 Coupe de la Ligue. Their first round opponents were Ligue 2 side Sedan at the Stade René Gaillard. The game finished goalless after normal time and extra time, and Sedan won the subsequent penalty shoot-out 5–4; Niort defender Johann Chapuis was the only player to miss his spot-kick.
