Contents

Limerick entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Tipperary in the Munster final.

On 6 September 1959 Tipperary won the championship following a 2-8 to 2-7 defeat of Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final. This was their 12th All-Ireland title and their first in two championship seasons.

Provincial changes

Due to a lack of competition in their own province, the Galway County Board proposed a regrading to junior status for their senior team in January 1958. This led to a wider debate regarding Galway's isolated position in a province where they faced little credible opposition. At a meeting of the Munster Council on 10 January 1959 it was decided to invite Galway to participate in all grades of hurling in Munster on a temporary basis. This decision was later ratified at the GAA Congress.
