The 2016 Cavan Senior Football Championship was the 108th edition of Cavan GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Cavan, Ireland. The tournament consists of 16 teams, with the winner going on to represent Cavan in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

Kingscourt Stars were the defending champions after they defeated Caslterahan in the previous years final.

This was Ballyhaise's return the senior grade after claiming the 2015 Cavan Intermediate Football Championship title.

The draw for the group stages of the championship were made on 11 April 2016.

The final was played on 9 October 2016, but the game ended in a draw.[1] On 23 October 2016, Ramor United from Virginia claimed their 4th title, beating Castlerahan in the final after a replay and thus bridging a 24-year gap since their last triumph.[2][3]

Format[]

For the 2016 season the S.F.C. will take a Group stage progressing to a knock-out stage format rather than the back-door system used in previous years. The 16 clubs will be divided into 4 groups of 4 with 2 teams in each group to be seeded. The top 2 in each group progress to the Quarter-Finals while the bottom placed team in each group enter a Relegation Playoff with 3 teams to be relegated to the 2017 I.F.C. This will leave 14 clubs to participate in the 2017 S.F.C.

Team Changes[]

The following teams have changed division since the 2015 championship season.

Group stage[]

All 16 teams enter the competition at this stage in 4 groups of 4. Two teams in each group are seeded. Seeds are determined by the 8 teams which reached the Quarter-Final the previous year. They are:

The top 2 teams in each group go into the Quarter-Finals while the bottom team of each group will enter a Relegation Playoff.
