The 1895–96 Scottish Districts season is a record of all the rugby union matches for Scotland's district teams.

History

Glasgow District and Edinburgh District fought out a nil - nil draw in the Inter-City match. This was the first draw in the fixture since 1879; and the first nil-nil since January 1876 (back when the Inter-City was a twice-a-season format).[1]

The North of Scotland played Edinburgh Wanderers at the end of the season. It was intended to be a XV a side match, North had selected their side,[2] but it seems likely that Wanderers only turned up with XI players so a XI a side match had to be played instead.[3]
