The 2008 Women's EuroFloorball Cup Qualifying rounds took place over August 14 to August 31, 2008 in three different host nations. The winner of each group advanced to the 2008 Women's EuroFloorball Cup Finals, where they had a chance to win the EuroFloorball Cup for 2008. A total of fifteen teams played in the qualifying rounds, all from different countries.

The 2008 EuroFloorball Cup marks the second year in which the new name for the tournament was used (previously known as the European Cup). The tournament also marks its sixteenth year.

The IFF decided that the tournament will revert back to its original format, and will take place during one calendar year, instead of two.

Qualification format

Since the top four nations at the 2007-08 Women's EuroFloorball Cup were from Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, the top team in that countrywhat automatically qualify for the finals, as well as the reigning champion. Five teams in total receive automatic qualification.

Since five of the eight spots are filled, the other three need to be decided using regional qualification. In Group C, the runners-up to the top team in Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic play for a spot in the finals. In Groups A and B, the teams are split into regions: West Europe and East Europe, respectively. The winning team in each group advances to the finals, making the total number of teams eight.

To be eligible to take part in the 2008 Women's EuroFloorball Cup, teams that take place in regional qualification must capture the national title in floorball in their country. If that team does not register, then the second-place team can register, and so forth.

Qualifying venues

Group A qualifications for Western Europe will take place in Frederikshavn, Denmark from August 13 to August 17, 2008.

Group B qualifications for Eastern Europe will take place in Bratislava, Slovakia from August 27 to August 31, 2008.

Group C qualifications will take place in Porvoo, Finland from August 22 to August 24, 2008.
