The 93rd Emperor's Cup (第93回天皇杯全日本サッカー選手権大会?) is the regular edition of the annual Japanese national cup tournament. It started on 31 August 2013 and ended on 1 January 2014 with the final at National Stadium in Tokyo.
Yokohama F. Marinos defeated 2013 J.League Division 1 champions Sanfrecce Hiroshima 2–0 for their seventh Emperor's Cup, their first in twenty-one years and their second in the J.League era after winning 1992 Emperor's Cup as Nissan F.C. Yokohama Marinos. The cup winners would normally receive a berth in the upcoming AFC Champions League; as F. Marinos finished as J.League runners-up that year, the nod went to Cerezo Osaka, the fourth-placed team in the 2013 J.League Division 1.
88 clubs compete in the tournament. The 18 J.League Division 1 clubs and 22 J.League Division 2 clubs receive a bye to the second round of the tournament. The other 47 teams earned berths by winning their respective prefectural cup tournaments, and will enter from the first round along with the JFL seeded team, the team with the best record after the 17th matchday.
The 47 prefectural tournament winners join JFL seeded team Kamatamare Sanuki in the first round.
