Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games
Sporting event delegation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Northern Ireland has competed in nineteen of the twenty-one Commonwealth Games beginning with the second games, held in 1934. Northern Ireland did not compete in 1930 (when there was a single team from Ireland) and in 1950. It differs from the Olympic Games where although it officially competes with England, Scotland and Wales as part of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, many athletes have represented the Ireland team.

Flag and victory anthem
As of 2022, the Northern Ireland team uses the flag of the former Government of Northern Ireland, the Ulster Banner, as its national flag. In November 2024, the Northern Ireland Commonwealth Games Council (NICGC) discussed the possibility of using its own flag at the Commonwealth Games if a new "Civic Flag" proposed by the Commission on Flags, Identity, Culture and Traditions is not in place before the 2026 Commonwealth Games.[2]
The team uses "Londonderry Air" as its victory anthem.
The team logo, and of the Commonwealth Games Council for Northern Ireland, features a stylised version of the Red Hand of Ulster, a traditional emblem of the province of Ulster of which Northern Ireland is a part. It should also be noted that the palm and thumb form the letters NI = Northern Ireland
The team goes by the abbreviation NIR.
