The 2016 Townsville Blackhawks season was the second in the club's history. Coached by Kristian Woolf and co-captained by Glenn Hall and Anthony Mitchell, they compete in the Intrust Super Cup.
The year started off on a sour note, with club captain Daniel Beasley tearing his ACL and being ruled out for the season. In his place, Glenn Hall and Anthony Mitchell were announced as co-captains of the team. Coming off a minor premiership and Grand Final appearance in 2015, the Blackhawks got off to a strong start to their second season in the Intrust Super Cup, winning their first five games. On May 19, inaugural Blackhawk Neville Costigan retired due to a chronic knee injury.
