The 2004 Chelsea Challenge was the largest to date, featuring 10 teams with players from as far away as Mozambique and Sweden. Teams in the recreational division represented Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Vancouver and New York.

The finals of the develomental division saw Team Red outscore Team Blue, 2-0. Vancouver outlasted the Orphans, 2-1, to win the championship. It was the second year in a row that the Orphans came up short in the finals. The Orphans had beaten Vancouver the day before in pool play, 3-2, on a shot from Charlie Mulkeen with 13 seconds left in the game.
