According to one embodiment, provided is a nonaqueous electrolyte battery including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The negative electrode contains a negative electrode active material containing orthorhombic Na-containing niobium-titanium composite oxide particles represented by general formula (1) LiNaM1TiNbM2O. In general formula (1), M1 is one or two or more elements selected from the group consisting of Cs, K, Sr, Ba, and Ca, M2 is one or two or more elements selected from the group consisting of Zr, Al, Sn, V, Ta, Mo, W, Fe, Co, and Mn, 0 ≤ v < 2, 0 ≤ x < 2, 0 < y < 2, 0 ≤ z < 3, and -0.5 ≤ δ ≤ 0.5. The nonaqueous electrolyte contains an Na component in a range of 10 ppm by mass to 3,000 ppm by mass.
