The 1995–96 Rugby Football League season was the 101st ever season of rugby league football. Eleven English teams competed from August, 1995 until January, 1996 for the Stones Bitter Centenary Championship. The season was kept brief to accommodate the first season of the new Super League competition which would see top-level rugby league in the UK changed to a summer sport. It was also punctuated by the 1995 World Cup which took place in Britain throughout October. The Challenge Cup rounds started immediately after the Centenary Championship and the final was played in summer, during Super League I.
