The 2007/2008 season of the Far East Cup in cross-country skiing began in Otoineppu on December 25, 2007. It ended on January 8, 2008 in Sapporo . There were a total of seven races for men and women, most of which were won by Japanese athletes, as in the previous year were. There were five different venues, two in Japan and three in China, but only sprints were held there. To this end, the FIS canceled an originally planned sprint in Beijing . Defending champions in the overall standings were the two Japanese Masaaki Kōzu and Madoka Natsumi , and two of their compatriots, Shōhei Honda , triumphed in 2007/08and Sumiko Yokoyama .
The tables show the final results of the overall standings as well as the three best athletes in each race. Although foreign athletes also took part in the competitions and achieved victories, only the cross-country skiers from East Asian countries were included in the rating. The Japanese athletes dominated, finishing 11 (for women) and 12 (for men) of 18 possible podium places. Most of the rest of the podium results went to European athletes in the sprints in China. The South Korean Won Lee-chae was the only non-Japanese athlete from East Asia to jump on the podium.
European athletes took part in the sprints in China and all of them placed in the top 3. These athletes were also honored, but in the overall ranking they do not receive any points, only the cross-country skiers from the East Asian countries. To show who received the points for the overall ranking, an alternative podium is displayed below the podium with European participation, which names the best-classified East Asians (including real results) and is highlighted in yellow.
