I can't remember hearing of a Northern Ireland side in other sports though they must exist .It's not that strange because GB plays both as a country and it's member entities , but I do remember a bit of a problem in the past with a Catalan side not being a country and they had to apply through Spain .Really it boils down to who the players want to represent , but would that mean accepting combined sides?

Northern Ireland always represent themselves in Football (soccer) but do play combined with the rest of Ireland in Rugby. I guess seeing that the Belfast Redbacks play in the Irish AFL comp, then it makes sense for the to just have one rep team for international tournaments.

Northern Ireland competes as a stand-alone entity in soccer and the Commonwealth Games. Not in any other sports that I know of though. Olympics they are part of the UK team.

In Aussie Rules, they (by way of their sole club, the Belfast Redbacks) have always been a part of the Ireland national team.

In addition, the Irish national cricket, hockey and rugby teams also represent the whole of Ireland, ie both the Republic and the North.
