The 2012 Singapore Cup (known as the RHB Singapore Cup for sponsorship reasons) started in May 2012. It was the 15th staging of the annual Singapore Cup tournament.
11 S.League clubs and 4 invited foreign teams play in this edition. The cup was a single-elimination tournament, with all sixteen teams playing from the first round. The first round involved one-off matches. Subsequent rounds involved ties of two legs.
The Courts Young Lions and Malaysia's Harimau Muda, both of whom are Great Eastern-YEO'S S.League participant teams, have requested and received permission to sit out of the RHB Singapore Cup, due to their respective preparations for the AFC Under-22 Asian Cup qualifiers in June.
The first round kicked off on 14 May 2012. The quarter-finals were held from 2 to 9 July 2012. The finals were held at Jalan Besar Stadium on 28 October 2012.
The cup winner qualified for the 2013 AFC Cup.
