The 2016–17 Districts One Day Tournament was a List A cricket competition that took place in Sri Lanka. It replaced the scheduled Premier Limited Overs Tournament, after a legal challenge from Negombo Cricket Club, after they were removed from Tier B of the 2016–17 Premier League Tournament.[1] The challenge stopped the Premier Limited Overs Tournament from taking place, but Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) organised this tournament to replace it.[1]
The tournament started on 15 March 2017, with 24 teams split into eight groups of three, with the matches given List A status.[2] The final was played between Kegalle District and Colombo District at the P Sara Oval, Colombo,[3] with Colombo District winning by 72 runs.[4]
