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.
