The competition was contested in two-legged home-and-away format between two Brazilian teams, Corinthians, the 2012 Copa Libertadores champion, and São Paulo, the 2012 Copa Sudamericana champion. The first leg was hosted by São Paulo at Estádio do Morumbi in São Paulo on July 3, 2013, while the second leg was hosted by Corinthians at Estádio do Pacaembu in São Paulo on July 17, 2013.^[2]

Corinthians won both legs, the first leg by 2–1,^[3] and the second by 2–0,^[4] to win their first Recopa Sudamericana title. Corinthians captain Danilo was selected as the best player of the tournament.^[4]

As of 2025, this is the only Recopa Sudamericana decided in a Brazilian derby (Clássico Majestoso), as both teams represent the state and city of São Paulo.

Format

The Recopa Sudamericana was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the Copa Libertadores champion hosting the second leg. If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule was not used, and 30 minutes of extra time was played. If still tied after extra time, the penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner.
