Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest
The Netherlands has been represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 65 times since making its debut as one of the seven countries at the first contest in 1956. The country has missed six contests, twice because the dates coincided with Remembrance of the Dead (1985 and 1991), twice because of being relegated due to poor results the previous year (1995 and 2002), and twice due to the inclusion of Israel in the context of the Gaza war (2026 and 2027). It has missed the final despite qualifying once, in 2024, due to the alleged personal misconduct of its entrant which led to disqualification. The most recent Dutch participating broadcaster in the contest is AVROTROS. The Netherlands has hosted the contest five times: in Hilversum (1958), Amsterdam (1970), The Hague (1976 and 1980), and Rotterdam (2021).
