The 2008 International Rules series was the 10th annual International Rules Series and the 16th time that a test series of international rules football has been played between Ireland and Australia.
After the 2007 series was cancelled by the Gaelic Athletic Association, the Australian Football League and the GAA agreed in 2008 to resume the series.
The matches were played in Australia – October 24 in Perth, Western Australia and October 31 in Melbourne (after the AFL Grand Final and All-Ireland Senior Football Championship).
Ireland won by five points on aggregate after recording victories in both tests.

Famous quotes containing the words rules and/or series:
“Those rules of old discovered, not devised,
Are Nature sill, but Nature methodized;
Nature, like liberty, is but restrained
By the same laws which first herself ordained.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
