# 2012–13 President's Trophy

The 2012–13 President's Trophy was one of two first-class cricket competitions that were held in Pakistan during the 2012–13 season, the other being the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. It was the inaugural edition of the President's Trophy. Ten departmental teams each played nine 4-day matches in a round-robin league phase between 3 October and 7 December 2012, with the top two teams contesting the final on 11–14 January 2013.
Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited went undefeated in claiming the title, winning six of their nine group matches and beating Habib Bank Limited in the final.

## Background

Before the start of the 2012–13 season, the Pakistan Cricket Board restructured the domestic system by separating the regional and department sides, who had both competed in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy over the previous seasons, with the departments moving into a new President's Trophy competition and the regions remaining in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.

## Format

In 2012–13 season of the President's Trophy, ten departmental teams each played nine 4-day matches in a round-robin league phase, with the top two teams contesting the final.
