The 1959 New South Wales Federation of Soccer Clubs (NSWSF) season was the third season of football in New South Wales under the administration of the federation since its breakaway from the NSW Soccer Football Association in January of 1957. The home and away league season began on the 28th of March with fourteen teams, increasing its number by two clubs from the previous season. Sydney Prague were minor premiers after twenty-six rounds of competition.

Once again a finals series was used decide the First Division champions of New South Wales in the format of a four team page playoff system. Sydney Prague won the league double, becoming this season's champions with a 3–2 the grand final win over APIA Leichhardt FC.

Other tournaments held this season included the Ampol Cup and the third edition of the Federation Cup. Both competitions were won by Sydney Prague, meaning the club won all three competitions held by the federation.
