The Official Souvenir Programme for the 1958–59 Australian Tour of the M.C.C. Team is a scarce and evocative piece of mid-century cricket memorabilia, produced to accompany one of the most significant Ashes series held on Australian soil.
 
Issued under the authority of the New South Wales Cricket Association and edited by V. C. Davis, this 80-page booklet served as both a match guide and a keepsake for spectators attending fixtures during the English team’s tour of Australia in the 1958–59 season.
 
This official programme includes:
Full itinerary of the 1958–59 tour, covering:
State matches across Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Hobart and regional centres
All Five Test Matches (Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne)
Player photographs and profiles
Score sheets
Historical cricket records
Items of interest relating to the touring M.C.C. side
Period advertisements and cricket ephemera typical of the era
 
The cover strikingly depicts P. B. H. May (Peter May) of England in a classical batting pose, capturing the elegance associated with the M.C.C. touring side of the 1950s.
 
Official programmes from this series are increasingly collectible due to:
Limited print runs tied to tour attendance
Fragility of booklet format (often discarded after matches)
