The 2016 season saw Sydney United embark on its twelfth consecutive season in the NPL NSW Men's era. Under the guidance of Marko Rudan, Sydney United secured a treble of trophies. They clinched the 2016 NPL NSW Men's 1 Premiership, finishing nine points ahead of their nearest rivals and suffering only two defeats throughout the entire season.[1] Furthermore, they won the NPL Championship, emerging as champions of NPL Australia after a decisive 4–1 victory over the Edgeworth Eagles in the final.[2] Additionally, they triumphed in the Waratah Cup, defeating Manly United 1–0 in the final.[3]

Nevertheless, Sydney United encountered a setback in the NPL NSW Grand Final, where they were defeated 3–0 by Blacktown City.[4] They also faced an earlier loss to Blacktown City in the FFA Cup, with a score of 6–2 in the Round of 32.[5]

Chris Payne topped the league's goalscoring charts with 22 goals in 21 games. All in all, he scored 33 goals in all competitions.[6]

While Tomislav Uskok, Panni Nikas, Chris Payne and Thomas Manos made the 2016 NPL NSW Team of the Year.[7]
