The 2008 '''[[Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup]]''' was the 95th edition of the USSF's annual national soccer championship, running from June through early September.

[[D.C. United]] won the final 2–1 over the [[Charleston Battery]] on September 3 at [[RFK Stadium]] in Washington, D.C., on a pair of goals from Brazilians [[Luciano Emilio]] and [[Helbert Frederico Carreiro da Silva|Fred]]. It was United's second Open Cup title.

The Battery were the first USL club in the final since the [[Rochester Rhinos]] won the cup in 1999.

The Cup schedule was shortened in 2008, ending in September instead of October, so as to avoid interfering with [[Major League Soccer]]'s end-of-season playoff drive in the fall and the new [[CONCACAF Champions League]].<ref>[http://blog.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/2008/02/celebrating_presidents_day.html Celebrating Presidents' Day – Soccer Insider<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120820004109/http://blog.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/2008/02/celebrating_presidents_day.html |date=2012-08-20 }}</ref>

The 13 US-based [[Major League Soccer|MLS]] clubs participated, although only 8 competed in the main tournament ([[Chicago Fire S.C.|Chicago Fire]], [[Chivas USA]], [[D.C. United]], [[FC Dallas]], [[Houston Dynamo]], [[Kansas City Wizards]], [[New England Revolution]], [[New York Red Bulls]]).  Qualifying was similar to the [[2007 U.S. Open Cup|2007 tournament]], with the top 3 teams from each conference in 2007 qualifying automatically, and the other 7 playing off during the early part of the 2008 season for the remaining 2 spots.

[[United Soccer Leagues]] had a separate qualifying plan for each tier.  The 8 US-based [[USL First Division|USL-1]] teams qualified automatically ([[Puerto Rico]] has its own [[Puerto Rican Football Federation|federation]], thus the [[Puerto Rico Islanders]] are not eligible to participate in the Open Cup). 8 of the 9 US-based [[USL Second Division|USL-2]] teams qualified.  The defending USL-2 playoff champions, the [[Harrisburg City Islanders]], and the 2007 regular-season champion [[Richmond Kickers]] qualified automatically.  The remaining 7 teams played off for 6 spots, based on early regular season results.  The [[USL Premier Development League|PDL]] used selected early regular-season games for qualification.  The top two teams in the Eastern and Central conferences, and the top teams in the Mid-South, Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest divisions qualified.

The tournament was rounded out by 8 amateur [[USASA]] clubs ([[RWB Adria|Adria]], [[Arizona Sahuaros]], [[Boston Olympiakos]], [[Clearwater Galactics]], [[A.A.C. Eagles|Eagles]], [[Hollywood United]], [[ASC New Stars|New Stars]], [[New York Pancyprian-Freedoms]]). USASA qualifying began in the fall of 2007.  Clubs from the [[National Premier Soccer League|NPSL]] enter the Cup through USASA qualifying.
