NCB Group (originally National City Brokers) is an investment bank based in Dublin, Ireland. Founded by Dermot Desmond, NCB firmly established its reputation by sponsoring a yacht NCB Ireland in the 1989 Whitbread Round-the-world yacht race, now the Volvo Ocean Race. During the 1980s Ireland two biggest banks AIB and Bank of Ireland took interests in stockbroking firms, so it was no surprise when NCB was sold to Ulster Bank, then part of the National Westminster Bank..
