La Coupe de l'Outre-Mer de football 2008 (English: The 2008 Overseas Football Cup) was the inaugural edition of the Coupe de l'Outre-Mer. The competition took place between 24 September 2008 and 4 October 2008 in Île-de-France, France.

Seven teams entered the inaugural edition. The final was played at the Stade Dominique Duvauchelle in Créteil, Val de Marne and was contested by Réunion and Martinique. Mamoudou Diallo scored the only goal in the final as Réunion won the inaugural competition.

The Tournoi des Champions Antilles-Guyane was the first football competition played by club teams from the overseas departments and territories of France. It was contested by teams from French Guiana, Guadeloupe and Martinique and began in 1963. The Coupe D.O.M. and Coupe T.O.M were later introduced and the winners of each would play off against each other in the Coupe des Clubs Champions de l'Outre-Mer.^[1]

In 2008, the Coupe de l'Outre-Mer was introduced for the representative teams of the overseas departments and territories as a replacement for the Coupe des Clubs Champions de l'Outre-Mer.^[1]

Seven teams took part in the competition. They were drawn into two single round robin groups – one of three teams and one of four teams. Unusually, four points were awarded for a win rather than three. Drawn matches in the group stage would end in a penalty shootout for a bonus point. The winning team from each group would contest the final, the runners-up would contest the third-place match and the third-placed teams would contest the fifth-place match.^[2]
