Northern Ireland’s green and white has been worn at some of football’s most memorable World Cups. Our retro Northern Ireland shirts recreate classic Northern Ireland kits from the 1950s to the 1980s, handcrafted in the UK from 100% cotton, with no modern sponsor or manufacturer logos.

From Ireland to Northern Ireland

The Irish Football Association’s team played its first international in Belfast in February 1882, losing heavily to England. It played as Ireland for many years, and the name Northern Ireland came into regular use in the 1950s. Our Northern Ireland 1956 Retro Football Shirt comes from that decade.

Sweden 1958

At their first World Cup, in Sweden in 1958, Northern Ireland reached the quarter-finals. It remains their best finish. The Northern Ireland 1958 World Cup Retro Football Shirt celebrates that side.

Spain 1982 and Pat Jennings

In 1982 Northern Ireland beat the hosts Spain 1–0 in Valencia, with Gerry Armstrong scoring the goal. Our Northern Ireland 1982 World Cup Retro Football Shirt recalls that night. Goalkeeper Pat Jennings won 119 caps before his final match at the 1986 World Cup, and the Northern Ireland Jennings Retro Goalkeeper Shirt honours him.
