It began on April 7 with a 1–0 road loss against the Chicago Fire and ended on November 19 with a 2–1 loss to the Houston Dynamo in the finals of the MLS Cup, a repeat of the previous year's MLS Cup Final. It was the first season where the Revs won any domestic competition, as they were the 2007 U.S. Open Cup champions. To date, this is the only tournament trophy won in club history, and the last trophy won until the 2021 Supporters' Shield.
