Specifically, given the name is “Great Britain”, I’m curious: does Northern Ireland compete under the Union Jack? Or are they with the Irish team like they do in rugby union and cricket?

No, Northern Ireland is part of the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. So it’s in the UK but not GB, which I think is what spurred OP’s question
You are Absolutely correct. I am british and didn’t even get it right 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Exactly right. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the “Great Britain” team in the Olympics is actually the UK team, but was curious about Northern Ireland’s status since they don’t seem to technically fit in the team name.
