The format of the competition remained the same as the previous season, with the teams split into two groups of eleven – nine departmental and two regional teams in Group A, and eleven regional teams in Group B[3] – playing four-day matches in a round-robin and a five-day final between the top teams in each group to determine the winner.[4] In a change from 2007–08, the bottom two departmental teams were relegated to the Patron's Trophy (Grade II) competition for the following season.[1][2]

Karachi Blues beat Habib Bank Limited by 141 runs in the final to win the trophy. In a low scoring match, Habib Bank, chasing a victory target of 208, were bowled out for just 66 runs in the fourth innings.[5][6]
