Locations of the 1958-59 Montenegrin Republic League teams

Following the big changes in the structure of Yugoslav Second League,[2] a majority of Montenegrin teams were relegated from Federal competitions after the 1957–58 season. So, overall 18 clubs were interested to play in 1958-59 Montenegrin Republic League. Due to that fact, Football Association of Montenegro organised regional qualifiers and winners of three qualifying groups gained placement to final tournament of Montenegrin Republic League.

Qualifiers

In the qualifiers, 18 teams were placed into three regional groups.[3] Winners of the groups (Mladost, Rudar and Arsenal) qualified for Montenegrin Republic League. Below are the final tables of each qualifying group.[4]

Championship

At the finals, every team played four games and the winner went to qualifiers for Yugoslav Second League.
Title holder was Mladost Titograd, who finished season with three wins and one draw. Rudar was excluded from the championship, due to fact that in their team participated unregistered players.[5] Because of that, three games of Rudar were registered with result 0-3.
