The 1958 NSW Federation of Soccer Clubs season was the second season of football in New South Wales under the administration of the federation since its breakaway from the NSW Soccer Football Association in January of 1957. The season once again kicked off with the preseason tournament in Lidcombe under lights, now jointly sponsored by Ampol and officially called the Ampol-Kennard Cup. The home and away league season began on the 5th of April with twelve teams, increasing its number by one this season. From the previous year, Eastern Suburbs withdrew and Lane Cove became North Side United. Corrimal United and Villawood were new entrants into the top tier. Once again a finals series was used decide the First Division champions of New South Wales in the format of a four team page playoff system. The season also held the second edition of the newly created Federation Cup.
Corrimal United were regular season premiers after twenty-two rounds of competition. Canterbury-Marrickville would avenge the previous season's grand final defeat by winning 2–1 over newly formed rivals Auburn at the ES Marks Athletics Field in front of a crowd of 8,840 to become the federation's second championship-winning team.
Hakoah were unable to back up their victory of the inaugural Ampol-Kennard Cup losing 3–4 to Canterbury-Marrickville in the final. Canterbury-Marrickville made it a treble winning season with a 3–2 win over Prague in the final of the Federation Cup.
