The FAI Cup 2008 was the 88th staging of The Football Association of Ireland Challenge Cup, or FAI Cup for short. This season was the second one sponsored by Ford.
The 2008 FAI Ford Cup officially kicked off in late March, when four clubs from the Intermediate and Junior leagues battled it out in the first round for the opportunity to join 18 A Championship, Intermediate and Junior clubs in the second round.
The ten winners of those ties were joined in the Third Round by 12 Premier Division and 10 First Division clubs.
The competition ran until late November, with the final taking place on Sunday, 23 November 2008 at the RDS.[1]
