The 1996 AFL Ansett Australia Cup was the Australian Football League competition played in its entirety before the Australian Football League's 1996 Premiership Season began. It culminated the final in March 1996. The AFL Ansett Australia Cup is also sometimes referred to as the pre-season cup because it was played in its entirety before the Premiership Season began since 1988.{{cite web|url=http://www.afl.com.au|title=Australian Football Video 1996 Ansett Australia Cup Grand Final|author=Visual Entertainment Group Pty Ltd|work=AFL VHS |year= 1996|accessdate= 2009-01-11| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20090106224931/http://www.afl.com.au/| archivedate= 6 January 2009 | url-status= live}}
