The 2008 World Outdoor Bowls Championship - Men's Pairs was held at the Burnside Bowling Club in Christchurch, New Zealand, from 12–24 January 2008.[1]

Russell Meyer and Gary Lawson of New Zealand won the gold medal.[2]

+ Bizarrely there is confusion as to the actual Brunei team that competed. Although HJ Brahim Naim is listed as competing in the singles & pairs he publicly announced that he was not there after missing his flight.[3]
