Group I

The seven teams were divided into two pools, one pool of four teams and one of three. The top team of each pool played against one other to decide which nation progresses to the World Group II Play-offs. The four nations coming third in each pool then played-off to determine which team would join the fourth-placed team from the four-team pool in being relegated down to Group II for 2009.
