Defending champions Hong Kong played against Guangdong at Yuexiushan Stadium on 1 January in the first leg and the second leg was played at Mong Kok Stadium on 4 January. Hong Kong football representative team represented Hong Kong Team this year instead of Hong Kong League XI and 2008 Chinese third-tier league runners-up Guangdong Sunray Cave (Guangdong U19s) replaced Guangzhou FC as Guangdong Team to participate in this tournament. Hong Kong won 5–4 on aggregate and were crowned their 13th Guangdong-Hong Kong Cup champions.
