Final Series
The winner of each league competition (top of the table) in the NPL (with the exception of South Australia, where their entrant was the winner of the Finals series) played each other in a final knockout tournament to decide the National Premier Leagues Champion for 2013.[2]
The participants were matched up based on geographical proximity, as if the three Federations not participating that season (Northern NSW Football, Football Federation Victoria and Football West) were doing so. Where a team would have played a non-participating Federation that team received a bye to the next round. The series was played over three rounds using a single match home or away knock-out format.
