Will Trailer Hitch from 2008 Honda CR-V Fit a 2015 Model
Question:
will a trailer hitch off a 2008 honda crv fit a 2015 crv?

Because they're of different generations, the 2008 being the 3rd Generation and the 2015 being the 4th Generation, enough changed in the design of the rear bumper/frame/fascia area that the hitch design needed to change as well.
For a 2015 Honda CR-V, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13119. If the choice is available, I'll always recommend that folks go with the 2 inch Class III hitch, because there are many more choices available as far as hitch mounted accessories go.
If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118561, a ball mount like part # 2753 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.
I've linked to installation videos for the hitch and the wiring harness I recommended.
