1589 was a common year that began on Sunday in the Gregorian calendar and on Wednesday in the Julian calendar. It was the 10th year of the 1580s decade, the 89th year of the 16th century, and the 589th year of the second millennium. At the start of the year, the Gregorian calendar was about 10 days ahead of the older Julian calendar, which remained in local use until 1923. In other calendar systems the year was numbered differently as well (for example, Armenian calendar 1038, Hebrew calendar 5349–5350, Islamic calendar 997–998).
