The 1958–59 season saw the previous season's Third Division North and South consolidated into Third and Fourth Divisions. Newport County's top-half finish qualified them for the Third Division. This was actually County's second season in the division as they were founder members of the Third Division before the regional split for the 1921–22 season.
