The 2015–16 Northern Premier League Challenge Cup, known as the 15–16 Integro Doodson League Cup for sponsorship reasons, is the 46th season of the Northern Premier League Challenge Cup, the main cup competition in the Northern Premier League. It was sponsored by Doodson Sport for a fifth consecutive season. 68 clubs from England entered the competition, beginning with the preliminary round. All ties would end after 90 minutes and conclude with penalties.^[5] Due to weather damage to pitches in late December, two ties were reversed.^[6]

The defending champions were Warrington Town, who defeated Farsley on penalties in the 2015 Final. Warrington Town were unable to defend their title as they were eliminated in the first round by Ramsbottom United.
