The 2013–14 Bavarian Cup (German: Bayerischer Toto-Pokal 2013–14) was the seventeenth edition of this competition, first held in 1998 and organised by the Bavarian Football Association (BFV). The winner, Würzburger Kickers of the Regionalliga Bayern, was qualified for the first round of the 2014–15 DFB-Pokal, the German Cup. Würzburg went on to defeat 2. Bundesliga club Fortuna Düsseldorf in the first round and advance to the second.
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 TSV 1860 Rosenheim who defeated SV Wacker Burghausen in the 2012–13 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 96 clubs from the two divisions of the Bayernliga and the five divisions of the Landesliga Bayern entered the qualifying stage of the competition. Clubs below the Landesliga had to take part in the Kreispokale to qualify.
