The 1913 Copa del Rey comprised two different competitions held the same year.
Due to disagreements between the Federación Española de Clubs de Football (FECF), forerunner of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (Spanish; Castilian: Real Federación Española de Fútbol, '''RFEF''') and some clubs, in 1913 two parallel competitions were held: an "official", organized by the FECF (Federación Española de Clubs de Football), in Madrid and an "unofficial", organized by the UECF (Unión Española de Clubes de Fútbol), in Barcelona. Both are currently recognized as official by the RFEF.

Three teams were going to take part in the tournament, but Auténtico Pontevedra FC withdrew before the start of the tournament, and due to its absence, it was agreed for a second match to be played between FC Barcelona and Real Sociedad, elucidating the title to a two-legged final. Both legs ended in draws (2–2 and 0–0), thus forcing a play-off in which Barça lifted the trophy with a 2–1, thanks to first-half goals from José Berdié and Apolinario Rodríguez.[1] [2]
