The 2013 Varsity Cup was contested from 4 February to 8 April 2013.

The tournament was won by {{Rut|UP Tuks}} for the second consecutive season; they beat {{Rut|Maties}} 44–5 in the final played on 8 April 2013. No team was relegated to the second-tier Varsity Shield competition for 2014.
Scoring
All four 2013 Varsity Rugby competitions will use a different scoring system to the regular system. Tries will be worth five points as usual, but conversions will be worth three points, while penalties and drop goals will only be worth two points.{{cite web|title=VC Rugby 'points' ahead|publisher=varsitycup.co.za|date=2011-11-17|url=http://www.varsitycup.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4644:varsity-cup-rugby-points-the-way-forward&catid=27:varsity-cup-news&Itemid=5|accessdate=2011-11-17 }}

=Competition Rules=
There were eight participating universities in the 2013 Young Guns competition. These teams were divided into two pools (the FNB pool and the Steinhoff pool) and played the other teams in the pool once over the course of the season, either home or away.
Teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored four or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by seven points or less. Teams were ranked by log points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).
The top two teams in each pool qualified for the title play-offs. In the semi-finals, the teams that finished first had home advantage against the teams that finished second in their respective pools. The winners of these semi-finals played each other in the final.{{cite web | url=http://www.varsitycup.co.za/index.php/footer-links-5/vc-competition-rules/4804-varsity-young-guns-competition-rules-2012 | title=Varsity Young Guns Competition Rules 2012 | publisher=varsitycup.co.za | accessdate=9 Apr 2012 | archive-url=https://archive.today/20130422001341/http://www.varsitycup.co.za/index.php/footer-links-5/vc-competition-rules/4804-varsity-young-guns-competition-rules-2012 | archive-date=22 April 2013 | url-status=dead | df=dmy-all }}
