Persibo Bojonegoro of East Java won the championship after defeating Semen Padang of West Sumatra in the final.

The cup winner qualified for the 2013 AFC Cup.

Regulation

Each tie in every round, apart from the final, was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team with the higher aggregate score over the two legs progressed to the next round. If aggregate scores finished level, then the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs progressed. If away goals were also equal, 30 minutes of extra time were played. If there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team qualified by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, there was a penalty shootout after extra time.
