The 1996 AFF Championship, sponsored by Asia Pacific Breweries and officially known as the 1996 Tiger Cup, was the inaugural edition of the AFF Championship. It was hosted by Singapore from 1 to 15 September 1996 with all 10 nations of Southeast Asia taking part, four of which were invitees.

All six founding members of the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) are participants, with the former Indochina nations joining as invitees as they were not yet members of the AFF at this time.
