Europe Region Tournament
Host – Wiesbaden Air Base (West Germany)
At Hainerberg Housing Area Field

NOTE: Transportation difficulties made it necessary for all participating teams to fund their own travel to the region tournament. This reduced the field to five teams from its original number.

NOTE: In this era, international region champions were required to fund their own transportation to Pennsylvania for the Little League World Series. Due to a lack of funding, the European Region champion did not advance to the Little League World Series in 1959. It was known prior to the region tournament that the winner would not advance.
