Best Answer

The contest is normally hosted by the country that has just won the contest.

However in 1974 the United Kingdom(the BBC) agreed to stage the event after Luxembourg, having won in both 1972 and 1973, refused to host it because of the expense of hosting it for a second consecutive year.
