The 2016 IAAF Hammer Throw Challenge is the seventh edition of the annual, global series of hammer throw competitions organised by the International Association of Athletics Federations. A total of thirteen meetings will feature on the circuit, with nine women's and ten men's contests spread across those events. The point scoring format is cumulative – the final standings were decided by the sum of athletes' three best throws on the circuit. Only the best throw by an athlete from each meet was taken into consideration.
