Шаблон:Infobox Rugby football league challenge cup
The 2016 League 1 Cup known as the 2016 iPro Sport cup for sponsorship reasons[1] is the second playing of the competition, first played in 2015.
The competition is for the rugby league clubs in the British League 1 - the third tier of rugby league in Britain. As there are 15 teams in League 1 but French club Toulouse Olympique declined to enter the tournament,[2] two amateur teams were invited into the competition to bring the numbers to 16. In 2016 these clubs were Wath Brow Hornets and Leigh Miners Rangers.
