Running a computer search for new, cyclic, 2-perfect 6-cycle systems of order 13 and constructing the quasigroups which arise from such systems enabled the author to establish that there are at most two such non-isomorphic systems. Then by using two-variable laws of the quasigroups it is shown that there are exactly two non-isomorphic 2-perfect 6-cycle systems of order 13 which are cyclic.
