2013 FFV State Knockout Cup

The 2013 FFV State Knockout Cup was the third edition of a football (soccer) knockout-cup competition held between men's clubs in Victoria, Australia in 2013, the annual edition of the Dockerty Cup. The first round was played during the weekend of 3 March 2013, with the Final scheduled for 7 September.

Unlike previous years, this tournament does not stagger the entrance of teams based on their position on the football pyramid; teams from as high as the Victorian Premier League participated in the opening round, though 16 selected clubs were given byes to the Fourth Round.
