The 1996 Southern Football League (STFL) premiership season was an Australian rules football competition staged across Southern Tasmania, Australia, over twenty-one (21) roster rounds and six (6) finals series matches between 29 March and 21 September 1996.
This was the inaugural season of the Southern Tasmanian Football League. It was formed in early 1996 as a replacement community football competition after the collapse of the Tasmanian Amateur Football League (both Southern and Northern Divisions) after 64 years at the completion of the 1995 season.
The STFL comprised eight founding clubs, six of those from the former Southern Amateurs and two clubs (Kingston and Channel) who defected from the Huon Football Association, it was originally intended to take all clubs from the Huon Football Association on board from 1996 as an amalgamation between it and the HFA but Kermandie, Franklin, Huonville and Cygnet all voted against the move preferring to continue on in their own Huon competition. The new STFL competition also had its member clubs work closely with the southern-based TFL Statewide League clubs in their zones. Kingston and Channel were aligned to Sandy Bay, Lindisfarne were aligned with Hobart, Sorell were aligned with North Hobart, Lauderdale were aligned with Clarence, Claremont aligned with Glenorchy, Lachlan and Brighton aligned with New Norfolk The STFL also took over the abandoned TFL Fourths (1976-1994), using the players from that competition as the Under 18's in the STFL. It was deemed of very high importance to have strong leagues in both the north and south of the state underpinning the TFL Statewide League to provide a pathway to state league level for elite junior players in each area, especially given the TFL's submission to gain entry for a Tasmanian team in the Australian Football League. From the start of this season, the former Mangalore Football Club (founded in 1885) rebranded itself as Brighton Football Club in order to reflect its wider municipal area.

The Claremont Football Club, nicknamed The Magpies, is an Australian rules football club currently playing in the Southern Football League in Tasmania, Australia. The club has worn a traditional Collingwood-style playing uniform since 1949 and is based in Hobart's northern suburbs, 14 km from the Hobart CBD. Founded in 1924, Claremont participated in a number of local leagues but is best known for being one Tasmania's most successful amateur football clubs since joining the TAFL Southern Division in 1949, having won a total of seventeen (17) Southern Amateur premiership titles along with ten (10) Condor Shield state amateur premiership titles between 1965–1995. Following the collapse of the Tasmanian Amateur Football League at the completion of the 1995 season, Claremont became one of the foundation members of the new STFL in 1996 and made the finals in its first season. In 1997, Claremont made it through to its first STFL Grand Final but suffered a 25-point loss to Kingston, however the Magpies would dwindle away into an unaccustomed wilderness for almost two decades before flying high once again to make four consecutive grand finals between 2013–2016, the latter two years (2015-2016) bringing premiership joy to Claremont for the first time in twenty years and was even more noteworthy by virtue of the fact that Claremont was able to win back-to-back hat-tricks of premiership titles with the club's Colts, Reserves and Seniors all taking out SFL premierships in 2015 and 2016. In 2017 the Claremont Football Club entered a team in the inaugural season of the Southern Football League Women's Competition and has done in each season since. Claremont Football Club is based at Abbotsfield Park where it has hosted its home matches since 1971, previous to that it played at the St Anne's Cricket Club ground from 1949-1970 and the Claremont Soccer Ground from 1924–1948.
