The 2016 Munster Senior Football Championship was the 2016 installment of the annual Munster Senior Football Championship held under the auspices of Munster GAA. It is one of the four provincial competitions of the 2016 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Kerry entered the competition as defending Munster champions and retained their title after a 3-17 to 2-10 victory over Tipperary
