The 2008 International Rules Series was the 14th annual International Rules Series and was played between Ireland and Australia.
After the 2007 series was cancelled by the Gaelic Athletic Association, the Australian Football League and the GAA agreed in 2008 to resume the series.
The matches were played in Australia – October 24 in Perth, Western Australia and October 31 in Melbourne (after the AFL Grand Final and All-Ireland Senior Football Championship).
Ireland won by five points on aggregate after recording victories in both tests.
