The 2008 Singapore League Cup was the 2nd edition of the Singapore League Cup. Its official sponsored name for 2008 was the Avaya-J&J League Cup.
In 2007, the event was held before the start of the S.League season (and served as a pre-season warm-up tournament). However, in 2008, the event was held during the S.League season. It consisted of all 12 S.League teams in that season. The cup was played over four rounds. The top four teams in the S.League in 2007 were given a bye to the quarter-final stage. The final was played on 16 June at Jalan Besar Stadium, with Gombak United defeating Super Reds FC. The defending champions, Woodlands Wellington, were eliminated in the first round.
The draw for the first knockout round was held on Tuesday, 13 May 2008 in Singapore. The first round matches began on 30 May. The winners advanced to the quarter-final stage. Teams who had finished in the top 4 positions of the 2007 S.League received a bye and did not participate in the round one knockout competition. The four byes were Singapore Armed Force FC, Home United, Tampines Rovers and Gombak United respectively.
