1958–59 Norwegian Main League

The Hovedserien 1958/59 was the 15th season of Norway's highest football league and the eleventh season under the name Hovedserien. The season began on 30 July 1958, and ended with the second final game on August 5, 1959.

Mode

The 16 teams played in two groups of eight teams in a single game round return match against each other so that each team completed 14 games. The two last placed each had to dismount.

The Master had to be used this season in two finals of the top two, because the first game is tied after extra time ran out and there was no decision on penalties at that time. Strange was that the second final match after the start of the season 1959/60 took place.

In comparison to the previous season, the groups were re-divided part.

Season

Lillestrøm SK for the first time Norwegian champion. For the first time after the introduction of a single final in the season 1951/52, had to be repeated a championship final.

Of the climbers had SK Freidig, Kapp IF and IL Årstad go again. Only Greåker IF could stay in the Hovedserien.
