Banknotes of the Bank of Ireland (Northern Ireland)
- Banknotes of the Bank of Ireland (Northern Ireland)
Banknotes have been issued by the Bank of Ireland for circulation in Northern Ireland since 1922.
Although the Bank of Ireland is not a central bank, it does have Sterling note-issuing rights in the United Kingdom. While Bank of Ireland is headquartered in Dublin, in the Irish Republic, it has operations in Northern Ireland, where it retains the legal right (dating from before the partition of Ireland) to print its own banknotes. These are pound sterling notes and equal in value to Bank of England notes, and should not be confused with banknotes of the former Irish pound.
The Bank of Ireland does not issue banknotes in the territory of the Republic of Ireland; until the Republic joined the euro in 1999, the only note-issuing bank there was the Central Bank of Ireland.

In the current issue, all Bank of Ireland notes feature the Queen's University of Belfast on the obverse. The principal difference between the denominations is their colour and size.

* 10 pound note, pink
* 20 pound note, green

The bank issued new 5, 10 and 20 pound notes in April 2008 featuring an artist's rendition of the Old Bushmills Distillery on the obverse of the note. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7361944.stm BBC NEWS | Northern Ireland | Bank raises glass to famous drink ] ]
