The 2013 Donegal season was the franchise's 109th season since the County Board's foundation in 1905. The team entered the season as defending All-Ireland champions after winning Sam Maguire MMXII.

Jim McGuinness returned for his third season as the team's manager. Pioneer of the game's revolutionary tactic The System, he entered the season with two Ulster titles (2011, 2012). Attempting to secure an unprecedented three-in-a-row this season, his men came undone in the final game of the series against Monaghan. Two games later they lost their All-Ireland crown against Mayo.
