Ireland debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1965 and is the joint most successful country to have participated in the contest, winning a total of seven times. During the 1990’s Ireland was a powerhouse in the contest becoming the first country to win three years in a row from 1992 to 1994. In the 2000s Ireland has struggled in the contest having qualified from the semi-final into the final just seven out of a possible seventeen times. In 2024, Bambie Thug gave Ireland their best result since 2000, finishing in 6th place.
