The Indian cricket team toured England in the 1959 season. The team played five Test matches against England and lost them all: the first time that England had won all the matches in a five-match series. Only one of the Tests, the game at Manchester, went into the fifth day.
In all first-class matches, the Indian team won just six times and lost 11, with 16 of the 33 games left drawn.
