Chatham Cup 2008

The Chatham Cup is one of New Zealand sport's oldest and most coveted trophies, steeped in history and tradition. First contested in 1923, the cup was gifted to the then NZ Football Association in 1922 by the crew of the British naval vessal HMS Chatham as a token of appreciation for the hospitality they had encountered on a visit to New Zealand. The knockout format of the competition, and the indeed the actual trophy, is modelled on England's FA Cup.

As with previous editions, the 81st Chatham Cup will be run along regional lines until the quarterfinal stage when four teams from the Northern Region, two from the Central Region and two from the Southern Region enter an open national draw.
