What does Great Britain consist of?
The Shetland Is : The Orkney Is : The Inner & Outer Hebrides: Northern Ireland: The Isle of Man: The Island that is Scotland, England & Wales: Anglesey: the Isle of Man: The Isle Of Wight: The Scilly Is: the Channel Islands (?) Apologies for what I may have missed, Caldy Island & Lundy for example. Strictly, Great Britain is the name of a single island that comprises the majority of the territory claimed by England, Wales and Scotland (the British mainland). It is the most populous island in the UK. So, strictly, Great Britain comprises one island. Historically the term Great Britain was used to refer to the kingdom comprised of England, Wales and Scotland between 1707 and 1801; under this definition you could include all the islands of Scotland, England and Wales lying off the British mainland (of which there are over 800; they include the Hebrides, Shetland, Orkney, Anglesey, the Isle of Wight and other island groups). The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are neither part of the territory of England, Scotland and Wales, nor are they part of the UK. Likewise, the island of Ireland is separate. Northern Ireland is part of the UK but obviously not part of Great Britain. In summary, Great Britain is the name of the island that comprises the British mainland, the largest island of the UK. Due to this name being used for a nation state between 1707 and 1801, the term came to be associated with all the territory of England, Scotland and Wales and therefore the offshore islands of these constituent nations may be included within the definition 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.
