Northern Ireland has never been part of Great Britain. Great Britain is an island consisting of Wales, England and Scotland. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland which is a completely separate island. Northern Ireland, along with England, Scotland and Wales, are together known as the United Kingdom, which is probably what you are referring to. So Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but not part of Great Britain.

Why wasn't the Great Britain team more correctly designated as 'Great Britain and Northern Ireland' or 'United Kingdom'?
The 'British Isles' are made up of many islands including the 'Isle of Man', 'Ireland' and the larger 'Great Britain' which is divided into England, Scotland and Wales. The 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' is the three countries on the island of Great Britain and a small part of Ireland called 'Northern Ireland' not including the Isle of Man. The rest of the island of Ireland is the independent 'Republic of Ireland'.Note. The name Britain (not Great Britain) is often used as a short name for the country.Since 1922 the correct name of the country has been the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", but by 1922 the phrase "Great Britain" was in widespread popular use and has since become synonymous with anything/anybody representing the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Therefore the term "Great Britain" is sometimes used erroneously to mean the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".The name for the country at major international sporting events has never been corrected and it still often competes as Great Britain and Northern Ireland.Note also that the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are Crown Dependencies, not technically part of the UK (or of the EU). These are generally included in the expressions Britain or Great Britain.

Nations at the Olympic Games are defined by their National Olympic Committees.

When the Commonwealth Games were started (as the Empire Games), the different countries of Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and even the Isle of Man and two of the Channel Islands) all competed, and continue to compete, separately (although only Northern Ireland, as the rest of Ireland is no longer part of the Commonwealth).
