The 1912–13 County Antrim Shield was the 24th edition of the County Antrim Shield, a cup competition in Irish football. The tournament returned this season after the senior clubs refused to compete for the competition in 1911–12 due to a dispute with the Irish Football Association.[1]
Linfield won the tournament for the 6th time, defeating Cliftonville 1–0 in the second final replay at The Oval[2] after the original final and replay finished in 0-0 draws.[3][4][5]
