The 2016 FA WSL Cup was the sixth edition of the FA WSL's league cup competition. It was sponsored by Continental AG, who sponsored the competition from its creation, and was officially known as the FA WSL Continental Tyres Cup. All 19 teams of the two divisions of the WSL took part in the competition.
Arsenal were the defending champions; only they and Manchester City had won the cup in the previous five seasons it was contested in.
The format was changed to a true knock-out tournament.[1] With 19 entrants, the bottom six teams played a preliminary round. The round of 16 following that was seeded, so WSL 1 teams met WSL 2 teams, who had home advantage.[2]
