McIlroy was raised Roman Catholic and has self-identified as Irish, and British.
He carries a British passport, although he usually is reluctant to discuss his nationality at length.
On 18 June 2014, McIlroy declared that he would represent Ireland (if he qualified) at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games, where golf became an Olympic event for the first time since 1904.
In 2012 he had expressed an interest in representing Great Britain as opposed to Ireland; however, in January 2013 he was considering the options of playing for Britain or Ireland or not playing at all, stating;
“I just think being from where we’re from, we’re placed in a very difficult position.
I feel Northern Irish and obviously being from Northern Ireland you have a connection to Ireland and a connection to the UK.
If I could and there was a Northern Irish team I’d play for Northern Ireland.
Play for one side or the other – or not play at all because I may upset too many people…
Those are my three options I’m considering very carefully”, before choosing Ireland in 2014.
McIlroy lived near the village of Moneyreagh in County Down, about 20 minutes from Belfast.
The land around his home included a custom-made practice facility and a scaled-down football pitch.
In September 2012, the house was put up for sale for a price of £2 million.

“Even though I’m a Man United fan standing here,” which saw him booed in jest by archrival Liverpool fans, before he thanked them for their great support. McIlroy is a fan of the Northern Ireland national team.
When Northern Ireland played against world champions Germany in a Euro 2016 match, he went to Paris to attend that match.
