An objective, automated group-finding algorithm has been used to re-identify the OB associations in the irregular galaxy NGC 6822. The properties of the OB associations, such as size, age, and mass, are compared with those of OB associations in M33 identified using similar data and techniques. These two data sets allow the first objective comparison to be made of the properties of OB associations in two quite different galaxies.
