The 2013 Premier League Asia Trophy was the sixth edition of the Premier League Asia Trophy. Sunderland, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Hong Kong club South China competed for the title on 24 July 2013 and 27 July 2013 at Hong Kong Stadium in So Kon Po, Hong Kong. Manchester City were the winners, beating Sunderland 1–0 in the final.
The tournament was also notable for the absence of Tottenham Hotspur's star Gareth Bale. Bale travelled with Spurs to Hong Kong, but an injury he suffered in training meant he did not play in either of Tottenham's matches.
Furthermore, the tournament was also notable for the very poor quality of the grass on the pitch at the venue.
