1958–59 was the forty-sixth occasion on which the Lancashire Cup completion had been held.
Oldham won the trophy by beating St. Helens by the score of 12-2
The match was played at Station Road, Pendlebury, (historically in the county of Lancashire). The attendance was 38,780 and receipts were £6,933; another excellent attendance.
This was the third (and final one) of Oldham's three consecutive triumphs. It would be the last time they would win the trophy, although they did later appear 4 times as runners-up (in 1966, 1969, 1987 and 1989).
With again no invitation to a junior club this season, the total number of teams entering the competition remained the same at 14.
The same pre-war fixture format was retained, and due to the number of clubs this resulted in no bye but one “blank” or “dummy” fixture in the first round, and one bye in the second round.
Involved 7 matches (with no bye but one “blank” fixture) and 14 clubs
