The 2012 Norwegian Football Cup was the 107th season of the Norwegian annual knockout football tournament. It began with qualification matches in April 2012. The first round was played on 1 May 2012 and the tournament ended with the final on 25 November 2012.[1] Aalesund was the defending champions, having beaten Brann 2–1 in last season's final,[2] but was eliminated by Sandefjord in the fourth round.
