The Irish League 1916/17 was the second edition of the highest all-Irish football league during the First World War ; also called Belfast & District League.

The championships from 1915 to 1918 - unlike in the state cup competition - do not count as official competitions, and the respective winners have therefore not won an official title. The game was played from September 18 to November 27, 1916. The winner was Glentoran FC.

mode

The six teams played against each other twice on a total of ten match days.
