Ireland has a rich history at the Eurovision Song Contest, debuting in 1965.
With an impressive seven wins, Ireland holds the record for the most victories, a feat shared with Sweden. The country dominated the competition in the 1990s, thanks to icons like Johnny Logan—the only performer to win Eurovision twice.
However, recent years have been more challenging, with Ireland struggling to make a significant impact.
That changed in 2024 when Bambie Thug represented the country with their song Doomsday Blue. The unique performance captivated audiences, earning Ireland 6th place—their best result since 2000 and marking a potential resurgence for the nation in Eurovision.
