Background
    
Before the start of the 2012–13 season, the Pakistan Cricket Board restructured the domestic system by separating the regional and department sides, who had both competed in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy over the previous seasons, with the departments moving into a new President's Trophy competition and the regions remaining in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.[3]
Format
    
In 2012-13 season of the President's Trophy, ten departmental teams each played nine 4-day matches in a round-robin league phase, with the top two teams contesting the final.
