Abstract: We recall the emergence of a generalized gauge theory from a noncommutative Riemannian spin manifold, viz. a real spectral triple

(A, H, D; J)

. This includes a gauge group determined by the unitaries in the

*

-algebra

A

and gauge fields arising from a so-called perturbation semigroup which is associated to

A

. Our main new result is the interpretation of this generalized gauge theory in terms of an upper semi-continuous

C^{*}

-bundle on a (Hausdorff) base space

X

. The gauge group acts by vertical automorphisms on this

C^{*}

-bundle and can (under some mild conditions) be identified with the space of continuous sections of a group bundle on

X

. This then allows for a geometrical description of the group of inner automorphisms of

A

. We exemplify our construction by Yang-Mills theory and toric noncommutative manifolds and show that they actually give rise to continuous

C^{*}

-bundles. Moreover, in these examples the corresponding inner automorphism groups can be realized as spaces of sections of group bundles that we explicitly determine.
