2008 ILF Men's U-19 World Lacrosse Championship
The 2008 International Lacrosse Federation Under–19 World Lacrosse Championships (U–19's) was held at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam, British Columbia from July 3 to July 12. The event was sponsored by the International Lacrosse Federation. This lacrosse tournament is held about every four years, and teams are composed of players that are under the age of nineteen.
This was the last major event to be sponsored by the ILF. In August 2008, the ILF merged with the former governing body for international women's lacrosse, the International Federation of Women's Lacrosse Associations, to form the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL). Future Under–19 championships will be sponsored by FIL.
The United States won the gold medal, the silver medal winners were Canada and the bronze medal went to the Iroquois Nationals.
