The Olympic Federation of Ireland or OFI (Irish: Cónaidhm Oilimpeach na hÉireann)[3] (called the Irish Olympic Council from 1920 to 1952, and the Olympic Council of Ireland from 1952 to 2018)[4] is the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Ireland. Athletes from Northern Ireland have the option of participating under its auspices or in the Great Britain Olympic Team. Its mission statement is "To manage and enhance the performance of Team Ireland at Olympic Games whilst developing the Olympic Movement in Ireland."[5] In 2018 the Olympic Council of Ireland was renamed as the Olympic Federation of Ireland.
