2015–16 GFF Elite League
The 2015–16 GFF Elite League (known as the 2015–16 Stag Elite League for sponsorship reasons) was the 15th season of the highest competitive football league in Guyana, and the 1st season of the Elite League. Eight FIFA licensed clubs participated in the inaugural Elite League season. The season was split into two parts (known as the Genesis and Finale rounds). Each half consisted of 14 rounds, with each team playing the other 7 teams twice each. In each round, the top 4 teams advanced to the playoffs. The winners of each half then faced off to determine the overall champion. The two half-season champions also advanced to the 2017 CFU Club Championship.

Slingerz (the Genesis round champions) defeated Alpha United (the Finale round champions) to win the overall championship.
