The 2008 NAB Cup was the Australian Football League pre-season competition played in its entirety before the Australian Football League's 2008 Premiership season began. It culminated with the Final played on 8 March 2008 at AAMI Stadium in which St Kilda beat Adelaide by 5 points.

In their continuing attempt to grow Australian football internationally, the AFL played the opening game of the 2008 NAB Cup in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

St Kilda won by 5 points over Adelaide in a game played in extreme heat in the middle of a 3 week heatwave in Adelaide. The temperature was 35 Degrees Celsius or more during the entire duration of the game. Adelaide kicked 1 more behind but St Kilda kicked two 9 point goals.
