The Ulster Rally runs over the weekend of Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd August, 2008, based in the City of Armagh.

The event is once more centred on the historic city of Armagh, with Rally HQ in the Armagh City Hotel. The schedule, which has proved so popular with competitors over the years, consists of the formal start of the International event in the Mall, followed by three stages on the Friday evening.

These stages are then repeated by the International competitors, who are joined by the National rally runners, giving everyone the opportunity to tackle some classic Ulster stages in the dark.

The Saturday leg consists of five stages run twice, giving a total of 135 stage miles for the International crews and 85 stage miles for the National crews. As in previous years, all servicing takes place in Armagh City, which is the focal point for the weekend.
