The Northern Cricket Union of Ireland, more usually referred to as the N.C.U., is one of five provincial governing bodies for the sport in Ireland. Along with the Connacht, Leinster, Munster and North West unions, it makes up the Irish Cricket Union (now known as Cricket Ireland), the overall governing body of Irish cricket.
The North of Ireland jurisdiction covers counties Antrim, Armagh and Down and part of Tyrone in Northern Ireland. The object of the NCU is "to promote and improve cricket generally in Northern Ireland among men and women, the able-bodied and the disabled".[1]
