The 2007–08 Irish First Division was the thirteenth season of second-tier football in Northern Ireland under the league system at the time, and the last under this structure before a major overhaul of the league system. The 2007–08 First Division consisted of 12 clubs.
Loughgall were the champions, but were not promoted to the 2008–09 IFA Premiership as they did not apply for a place. Bangor finished fourth and were the only team from the First Division to apply for a place in the following season's top division, and were granted a place ahead of other incumbent top-flight clubs.[1]
