This season's cup competition began with the games of the first round, played on the week-end of the 13 September 1959.

These teams joined the competition in the third round, which was played on the week-end of 1 November.
The matches were played in a knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch. If the replay ended in a draw after extra time, a toss of a coin would establish the team that qualified for the next round. New this season was, that the cup winners qualified themselves for the first round of the Cup Winners' Cup in the next season. This would be the first season that this tournament took place for the winners of each European country's domestic cup competition.[1]
