Ireland has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 54 times since making its debut at the 1965 contest in Naples, missing only two contests since then (1983 and 2002).
Ireland has a record total of seven wins, and is the only country to have won three times consecutively.
Since the introduction of the semi-final round in 2004, Ireland has failed to reach the final nine times, and has twice finished last in the final, in 2007 and 2013.
Ireland’s only top 10 result in the last 14 contests (2007–21) is Jedward’s eighth-place in 2011.
