The 2016 Dublin Senior Football Championship was the 130th edition of Dublin GAA's premier gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in County Dublin, Ireland. 32 teams participate, with the winner representing Dublin in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship.
Ballyboden St. Enda's were the defending Dublin (and All-Ireland champions) having defeated St. Vincent's in the 2015 Dublin championship final. They gave up their titles in the last sixteen stage when losing to Kilmacud Crokes.
On 5th November 2016, St. Vincent's claimed their 28th Dublin S.F.C. title and 4th in 5 years when defeating Castleknock (who reached their first final after only two years in the senior grade and only their 18th year in existence after being established in 1998) in Parnell Park in the final by 0-15 to 0-10.
UCD were relegated to the Intermediate Football Championship for 2017 after the conceded a walk over in the Senior 'B' Championship this year. They will be replaced by Paul Flynn's Fingallians who claimed this year's I.F.C. title.
Format
The championship has a straight knock-out format. The losers of the Round 1 matches enter the Senior 'B' Football Championship. Losers of Round 1 of the Senior 'B' Championship enter a relegation playoff if a non-reserve side wins the Dublin Intermediate Football Championship.
