The 2013 Singapore Cup was the 16th season of Singapore's annual premier club football tournament organised by Football Association of Singapore. Due to sponsorship reasons, the Singapore Cup is also known as the RHB Singapore Cup. Warriors FC, then known as Singapore Armed Forces FC, were the defending champions.^[1]

The final was played at Jalan Besar Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Home United, who had finished as quarter-finalists last year, won by defeating S.League rival Tanjong Pagar United 4–1. This was Home's sixth Singapore Cup title, previously winning it in 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, and 2011.^[2] Together with 2013 S.League champions Tampines Rovers, Home United fills the 2014 AFC Cup spot.

The defending champions Warriors were eliminated in the preliminary round, thus becoming the first team to leave the competition as title holders at this stage.^[3]

Prize money

For the 2013 edition, Football Association of Singapore (FAS) increased the prize money for the champions, runners-up and second runners-up. A base fee of S$2,000.00 was awarded to losers in the preliminary round. For teams which failed to reach the semi-finals, FAS awarded S$4,000. Thereafter, the third and second runners-up receive a total of S$10,000.00 and S$40,000.00 (up from S$20,000.00) respectively, while the champions and runners-up receive S$100,000.00 (up from S$80,000.00) and S$60,000 (up from S$40,000.00) respectively.

Teams

A total of 16 teams participated in the 2013 Singapore Cup. Twelve of the teams were from domestic S.League and the other four were invited from the Philippines, Cambodia and Laos. Global, Boeung Ket Rubber Field and Lao Police Club are the champions of their respective countries' leagues in 2012.

Format

The sixteen teams were drawn into two distinct pools in the preliminary round. They will play against one another in a single leg knockout basis. Winners of this round will progress and advance to the quarter-finals. Thereafter, matches are played in two legs with the exception of the one-match finals.

Round and draw dates

Unlike previous editions where teams were drawn with a clear route to the final, clubs will now be drawn on a round-by-round basis. The clubs competing in each round of the competition will be drawn in pairs, with the tie to be played in a knockout format.^[4]

All draws are held at Football Association of Singapore headquarters in Kallang, Singapore unless stated otherwise.
