The Duquesne Country and Athletic Club (DC&AC) of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania played its second season of American football in 1896.

The team suffered a heavy turnover in personnel from its previous season, with only five players returning.

The opponent was the Allegheny Athletic Association, whose players were each to be paid $100 per game.

The "Three A's" would cease to exist after shutting out the Pittsburgh Athletic Club a day later.

[1] The DC&AC however could not match the success of the region's top collegiate team—the undefeated, unscored-upon Washington & Jefferson—to whom they lost 4–0 on Thanksgiving Day.
