The 1959 Hogan Cup was the sixth staging of the Hogan Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1946.[2] The competition ran from 22 March to 19 April 1959.
St Jarlath's College were the defending champions, however, they were beaten in the Connacht Championship.[3]
The final was played on 19 April 1959 at Croke Park in Dublin, between St Joseph's CBS and St Nathy's College, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. St Joseph's CBS won the match by 3–09 to 2–08 to claim their only Hogan Cup title.[4]
