It was won by Armagh who defeated Fermanagh in the final after a replay.

Although defeated after a replay by Down in the first round of the Ulster Championship, Tyrone emerged as victors in the 2008 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, beating Kerry in the 2008 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.

With the usual nine teams contesting the Championship, Antrim and Cavan met in the preliminary round to reduce the field to eight.

The draw, made in October 2007, also produced two big opening round clashes: Tyrone against Down and Donegal against Derry.
