Nope. For example, the city Belfast is in County Antrim. Some cities have the same name as the county they are in, like Dublin. A county is an administrative region. A city is a large urban area, so they are different things. Many counties don't have cities. In Ireland the term city is not used for towns, so only very large urban areas are cities. As a result a lot of counties don't have cities, but do have lots of towns. Some of those towns are the same names as the county that they are in. Sometimes, though not always, the biggest town in a county has the same name as the county, but sometimes the a town that has the same name as the county it is in is not the largest town in the county.

What is the name for north Ireland?

The province which forms the entire geographic north of Ireland is called Ulster. It has nine counties. There is also what is called Northern Ireland which is most but not all of the province of Ulster. It contains six of the counties of Ulster. The most northerly point on the island of Ireland is in Ulster but is not actually in Northern Ireland. It is in county Donegal, one the three Ulster counties that are in the Republic of Ireland and not in Northern Ireland.

How there is only 6 counties in Northern Ireland?

The counties called Fermanagh, Antrim, Tyrone, Down, Armagh and Derry make up Northern Ireland. When Northern Ireland was created by a treaty between Britain and Ireland, those 6 counties were made part of Northern Ireland. The remaining 26 counties of Ireland, are part of what is now commonly called the Republic of Ireland. The province of Ulster consists of all of Northern Ireland's counties, plus Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal. Donegal actually contains the most northern point on the whole island of Ireland. If you look at the map below, you will see all of Ireland's counties, with the 6 of Northern Ireland enclosed by a line, and you will also see how Donegal contains the most northern point.
