It was contested from 1 February to 18 April 2016 and was the ninth edition of these competitions.
Following a disruption during the Varsity Cup Round Three match between Шаблон:Rut and Шаблон:Rut[1][2] and general unrest on various university campuses, all fixtures scheduled for 29 February were postponed to 4 April,[3] with the semi-finals and final also postponed by a week. On 1 March, it was also announced that the round of matches scheduled for 7 March would also be postponed, with the situation at various universities being monitored to determine when the competition will resume.[4]
