2008 Dutch Caribbean Age Group Championships is a championship for young Track & Field athletes of the islands of the Dutch Kingdom. In 2008 there were three island competing. Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. They compete in different events and the athlete with the overall most points will be declared the winner. There are two age groups, they are 10–11 years (Pentathlon) and 12–13 years (Heptathlon). This year was the first year that hurdles and baseball throw was added to the event list for the heptathlon.
