The '''2012 Varsity Cup''' was contested from 6 February to 9 April 2012. The tournament (also known as the ''FNB Varsity Cup presented by Steinhoff International'' for sponsorship reasons) was the fifth season of the [[Varsity Cup]], an annual inter-university [[rugby union]] competition featuring eight South African universities.
 
The tournament was won by {{Rut |UP Tuks}} for the first time; they beat {{Rut |Maties}} 29–21 in the final played on 9 April 2012. {{Rut |TUT Vikings}} were automatically relegated to the second-tier [[Varsity Shield]] competition for [[2013 Varsity Shield|2013]], but {{Rut |UCT Ikey Tigers}} won their relegation play-off match against {{Rut |CUT Ixias}} to remain in the Varsity Cup for [[2013 Varsity Cup|2013]].
 
==Scoring==
All four 2012 Varsity Rugby competitions will use a different scoring system to the regular system. Tries will be worth five points as usual, but conversions will be worth three points, while penalties and drop goals will only be worth two points.<ref name="VC Rugby 'points' ahead">{{cite web|title=VC Rugby 'points' ahead|publisher=varsitycup.co.za|date=2011-11-17|url=http://www.varsitycup.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4644:varsity-cup-rugby-points-the-way-forward&catid=27:varsity-cup-news&Itemid=5|accessdateaccess-date=2011-11-17 }}</ref>

The top four teams will qualify for the title play-offs. In the semi-finals, the team that finishes first will have home advantage against the team that finishes fourth, while the team that finishes second will have home advantage against the team that finishes third. The winners of these semi-finals will play each other in the final, at the home venue of the higher-placed team.
 
The team that finishes eighth in the Varsity Cup will be relegated to the [[2013 Varsity Shield]]. The team that finishes seventh in the Varsity Cup will play a promotion/relegation match against the second-placed Varsity Shield team for a place in the [[2013 Varsity Cup]].<ref name="Varsity Cup Competition Rules 2012">{{cite web|url=http://www.varsitycup.co.za/index.php/footer-links-5/vc-competition-rules/4698-vc-competition-rules-2012|title=Varsity Cup Competition Rules 2012|publisher=varsitycup.co.za|accessdateaccess-date=2012-04-09|archive-url=https://archive.istoday/20130421225519/http://www.varsitycup.co.za/index.php/footer-links-5/vc-competition-rules/4698-vc-competition-rules-2012|archive-date=2013-04-21|deadurl-url=yes|dfstatus=dead}}</ref>
