If Ireland was a part of Wizarding Britain, it makes sense
that it would field its own team (as would Wales, Scotland,
etc.), especially since I seem to remember a mention (by
Fred or George?) of how the English team lost on its way to
the Quidditch World Cup. I seriously doubt that the English
team is the only team to come from Wizarding Britain. As a
soccer fan, it just wouldn't make sense to me. :)

It isn't.

Uganda, and Scotland were slaughtered by Luxemburg."
 
Though we don't know about Northern Ireland, the British isles field 
four teams at least.

Carol:
That's not counting numerous local teams, for example the Wimborne
Wasps, for whom Ludo Bagman was a beater, IIRC the position correctly.
(I definitely remember the black and yellow Quidditch robes and the
bludgers to the head!)
