The 2008 Palmer Cup was held on 26–27 June 2008 on the Gailes Links in Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland. Europe won 14–10.{{cite web |url=http://www.arnoldpalmercup.com/content/2008 |title=2008 results |publisher=Arnold Palmer Cup |accessdate=September 23, 2016}}

Format

On Thursday, there were four matches of four-ball in the morning, followed by eight singles matches in the afternoon. Four foursomes matches were played on the Friday morning with a further eight singles in the afternoon. In all, 24 matches were played.

Each of the 24 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole, each side earned half a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 12½ points won the competition.

Teams

Eight college golfers from Europe and the United States participated in the event.
