The 1876 South Australian football season was the seventh year of interclub football. It was also the final season of decentralised administration of football in South Australia; the South Australian Football Association was formed the following year to provide a committee-based approach to the administration of the sport.
During the 1876 football season in South Australia two dominant rule sets were in use.
The Woodville Football Club lead the push to revert to the Old Adelaide Rules when they place an advertisement on 17 July 1876.
The Woodville Club hereby CHALLENGE any Club in or around Adelaide to play a Game of Football according to the old Adelaide rules, which rules will only be played by the above Club for the future. THOS. LETCHFORD, Hon. Sec.
