National anthem of Northern Ireland
There is no official anthem which represents only Northern Ireland.
Two pieces of music are used to represent Northern Ireland in a sporting context:
- "Londonderry Air" is played as the anthem of Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games. "Danny Boy" is a popular set of lyrics to the tune.
- "God Save the King", the national and royal anthem of the United Kingdom, is played as the anthem of Northern Ireland at association football.
"Ireland's Call" is used by the Ireland rugby union team, Ireland rugby league team, Ireland cricket team and Ireland field hockey teams. All of these teams represent the entire island of Ireland.
"Amhrán na bhFiann" ("The Soldier's Song"), the national anthem of the Republic of Ireland, is used by some organisations operating on the island of Ireland, such as the Gaelic Athletic Association.
