The 2007–08 Irish Premier League was the last season of the competition before the league system in Northern Ireland was restructured. The 2008–09 competition onwards would be rebranded the IFA Premiership with stricter rules governing the eligibility of clubs to take part. The top tier of the Northern Irish league system would be reduced in size from sixteen clubs, to twelve.

Five of this season's sixteen Premier League teams failed to gain a place in the new twelve-team Premiership, and were relegated to the newly introduced IFA Championship. Of the five teams that missed out, three - Armagh City, Larne and Limavady United failed to obtain the necessary domestic licence.

Portadown obtained a licence, but were controversially excluded because a club official missed a deadline for submitting an application form by several minutes. Finally, Donegal Celtic obtained a licence, but was ranked thirteenth in the entry list, and thus missed out by one place.

The season began on 22 September 2007, and ended on 26 April 2008. Linfield were the defending champions, and successfully defended their title, winning their 48th title by 3 points.
