The Irish League in season 1915–16 was suspended due to the First World War. A Belfast & District League was played instead by 6 teams, and Linfield won the championship.

Season summary

Due to the outbreak of World War I, the Irish League was officially suspended. The Belfast & District League took its place with all matches played in Belfast. The Dublin sides Bohemians and Shelbourne did not compete, while Belfast Celtic refused to join on the basis that the competition was to be on a professional rather than an amateur basis. Their place was therefore taken by a new team, Belfast United who played all their matches away from home. Glenavon also participated in the league; given their home ground Mourneview Park is based in Lurgan, they were unable to use it as a home ground and therefore they also played all their matches away from home. Belfast United's home match with Glenavon was played at The Oval while Glenavon's home match with United was played at Grosvenor Park.
