The '''2012–13 [[Ranji Trophy]]''' was the 79th season of the [[Ranji Trophy]]. It was contested by 27 teams divided into three groups of nine teams each. The top three teams from Groups A and B proceeded to the quarterfinals along with the top two teams from Group C. [[Mumbai cricket team|Mumbai]] won this year's trophy for the 40th time by beating [[Saurashtra cricket team|Saurashtra]] in the final at the Wankhede.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.wisdenindia.com/match-report/mumbai-blow-saurasthra-40th-ranji-title/47319|title=Mumbai blow Saurashtra away for 40th Ranji title|publisher=Wisden India|date=28 January 2013|access-date=29 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131025143608/http://www.wisdenindia.com/match-report/mumbai-blow-saurasthra-40th-ranji-title/47319|archive-date=25 October 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The season had a different grouping system compared to that of the previous seasons, which had Elite and Plate divisions. The new system also increased the number of matches of the tournament. The points awarded to outright wins were increased from five to six in order to encourage [[result (cricket)|results]]. The knock-out matches will be played across five days instead of four. All these changes were recommended by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]]'s Technical Committee in June 2012.

==Points system==
27 teams were divided into three groups of nine teams each. The top three teams from Groups A and B proceed to the quarterfinals along with the top two teams from Group C. The winner of this knock-out tournament wins the Ranji Trophy. These knock-out matches are decided on the first innings result if the final result is a [[draw (cricket)|draw]].

Points in the group stage of the tournament are awarded as follows:
