It's called an internal thread closure. They were very common in the UK for use on soda bottles but never really caught on that well in the US.

Well, it depends. It is most likely like either of these two photos:

If the threads are inside the mouth, it is as Tombstone Brick and Canadian Bottles have stated. Internal-threaded screw. Predominantly British.
But
If you mean like the following photo, though, then only Tombstone Brick is correct. It was usually a ketchup bottle's top finish in the early days where the threads are outside of the mouth but below a whiskey-like top.
