1915-1916 Summary
Final League Tables

  << 1914-15                              (Click for:    Appearances and Goals    back to Everton's Results)                              1916-17 >> 

The normal Football League and FA Cup competitions were suspended at the end of the 1914/15 season due to World War I.
The Football League was replaced with regional leagues - a Lancashire Section and a Midlands Section.
In 1915/16 Everton played in the Lancashire Section Principal Tournament, which ended on February 26 1916.
After that date they competed in a further Lancashire Section Subsidiary Tournament - which itself was
sub-regionalised into a Northern and Southern Division, with Everton in the latter.
In 1915/16 London and Southern League clubs formed their own 'London Combination' and
South-Western teams played in a 'South Western Combination'.
The FA Cup was not replaced and no Cup competitions were contested.
Match, appearance and goal statistics are not counted in any official records.
