The 1959 Canada Cup took place 18–21 November at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Melbourne, Australia.

These were the same teams that had competed in 1958 but without Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela and with the addition of Indonesia.

The Australian team of Kel Nagle and Peter Thomson won by 10 strokes over the American team of Cary Middlecoff and Sam Snead.

The individual competition was won by Canadian Stan Leonard, who beat Peter Thomson at the first hole of a sudden-death playoff.
