We construct the general form of matter coupled N=4 gauged supergravity in five dimensions. Depending on the structure of the gauge group, these theories are found to involve vector and/or tensor multiplets. When self-dual tensor fields are present, they must be charged under a one-dimensional Abelian group and cannot transform non-trivially under any other part of the gauge group. A short analysis of the possible ground states of the different types of theories is given. It is found that AdS ground states are only possible when the gauge group is a direct product of a one-dimensional Abelian group and a semi-simple group. In the purely Abelian, as well as in the purely semi-simple gauging, at most Minkowski ground states are possible. The existence of such Minkowski ground states could be proven in the compact Abelian case.
