Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest
Ireland has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest since 1965, achieving notable success. The country holds the record for the most wins, with seven victories. Its first win came in 1970 with Dana’s “All Kinds of Everything.” The 1990s saw Ireland dominate, winning four times in a row from 1992 to 1994 and again in 1996. Johnny Logan remains the only artist to win twice as a performer, in 1980 and 1987. The country last won in 1996 with Eimear Quinn’s “The Voice.” In recent years, Ireland has struggled to qualify for the final, with only one appearance since 2013. The country’s selection process has varied, using both national finals and internal choices. The contest remains popular in Ireland, despite mixed results. RTÉ, the national broadcaster, continues to organize participation. The country’s most recent entry was in 2024. Bambie Thug managed to let Ireland return to the scorebord with their entry “Doomsday Blue”. They reached a 6th place.
