The 2008 FEI Nations Cup is the 2008 edition of the secondary international team Grand Prix show jumping competition run by the FEI. Ireland won the Nations Cup in the previous year and have been promoted to the 2008 Samsung Super League. France will join the series, having been relegated from the 2007 Super League.
Before the beginning of the 2009 season of the Meydan FEI Nations Cup (the follower of the Samsung Super League), the number of participating nations teams in the Meydan FEI Nations Cup has been increased up to ten. Thus, after the descent of Sweden, three nations starting positions are reassigned. This was done by the placement of best placed show jumpers from every nation in the world rankings. The emerging nations to the 2009 Meydan FEI Nations Cup were Sweden, France and Canada. The national equestrian federation of Canada refrained, so Italy moved into the Meydan FEI Nations Cup for the 2009 season.
The points of the seven best results of each nation are added to the final result.
