The 2008 Irish American Football League (IAFL) season is the 22nd season since its establishment. The current champions are the UL Vikings. The first games were played on 30 March (after the 16 March game between DCU Saints and UL Vikings was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch). The Shamrock Bowl was scheduled for 10 August in Cork Institute of Technology's brand new stadium. The Shamrock Bowl was the first major national event played there.

The 2008 season also has seen the first season of the new Development League, dubbed DV8. This is an eight a side league dedicated to helping rookie players and new teams get some experience before joining the league proper.
