North Cregg are an Irish traditional band from Cork, Ireland. They were formed in 1996 in Cork out of a thriving pub session scene.

The name North Cregg comes from a tune composed by uilleann piper Jimmy Morrison who named his composition after a small townland near Fermoy town, County Cork.

The members of North Cregg are Christy Leahy (button box), Liam Flannigan (fiddle, banjo), Ciaran Coughlan (piano), Martin Leahy (guitar, drums) and vocalist Claire-Anne Lynch, who also plays fiddle.

The band have produced four critically acclaimed albums to date. Their most recent album "The Roseland Barndance" was released in February 2007 on the Greentrax Recordings label. This album includes guest appearances by Dirk Powell (clawhammer banjo), Chris McCarthy (double bass) and Seamus Burns (spoons).
