The league competition was played amongst eight separate divisions, divided by FFA state and territory member federations.
The winners of each respective divisional league competed in a finals playoff tournament at season end, with Sydney United 58 crowned as Champions,[1] which gave them direct qualification for the 2017 FFA Cup Round of 32.
The end of season finals series for the League Cup was held using the same format as the previous year, which included the top six teams from the NPL Tasmania as well as the premiers from the Northern Championship (Somerset) and Southern Championship (Glenorchy Knights).
[4] The competition was formerly known as the Victory Cup, but was renamed due to lapsing sponsorship arrangements.
[2] Glen Trifiro from Sydney United 58 won the John Kosmina Medal for the best player in the NPL Grand Final.
