The 2012–13 Bavarian Cup (German: Bayerischer Toto-Pokal 2012–13) was the sixteenth edition of this competition, first held in 1998 and organised by the Bavarian Football Association (BFV). The winner, TSV 1860 Rosenheim of the Regionalliga Bayern, was qualified for the first round of the 2014–15 DFB-Pokal, the German Cup where it lost to 2. Bundesliga club VfR Aalen in the first round.
The competition was open to all senior men's football teams playing within the Bavarian football league system and the 3. Liga.
The Bavarian Cup, officially referred to as the Bayerischer Toto-Pokal for sponsorship reasons was established in 1998. Until 2009 it was contested by only eight clubs, qualified through the seven annual regional cup competitions. Since 2009 the Bavarian Cup has been expanded to include 64 teams in the first round.
The defending champions of the competition were SpVgg Unterhaching who defeated SC Eltersdorf in the 2011–12 final.
The competition is open to all member clubs of the Bavarian Football Association except the clubs playing in the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga. Reserve teams are also barred from the competition. The Bavarian clubs from the 3. Liga and Regionalliga Bayern and the 24 District Cup (Kreispokale) winners qualified directly for the first round of the competition. The 98 clubs from the two divisions of the Bayernliga and the five divisions of the Landesliga Bayern entered the qualifying stage of the competition. It was the first occasion that so many clubs took part in the qualifying as, previous to 2012, the Bayernliga consisted of only one division and the Landesliga of only three. Clubs below the Landesliga had to take part in the Kreispokale to qualify.
