The 2013 Pro12 Grand Final was the final match of the 2012–13 Pro12 season. The 2012-13 season was the second with RaboDirect as title sponsor and the fourth ever League Grand Final. Leinster won the game 24-18 against Ulster.[1][2]

The win for Leinster ended a run of three successive league final losses.[3] A Shane Jennings try in the first half helped Leinster to a 16-6 half-time lead, with Jamie Heaslip getting the second try in the second half.[4][5]

It was Jonathan Sexton's final match for Leinster before joining Racing Métro, and also coach Joe Schmidt's last match before taking over as head coach of the Irish rugby team.[6][7]
