Ireland has won it more times than any country, but the Eurovision Song Contest does not have a home. It will be held in Ireland again, the year after Ireland next win it.
In 2012, Ireland (represented by Jedward) came 19th out of 26 contestants in the final.
Romania came 19th out of 25 countries in Eurovision 2009.
They finished in 5th place.
The United Kingdom have come 2nd in the Eurovision Song Contest on a record 15 occasions to date.
Norway has come last in Eurovision 11 times, the most out of any country.
'its my time' sung by Jade Ewen came fifth in the Eurovision song contest held in Moscow, Russia in 2009. It became the most successful entry in the Eurovision song contest from the UK since 2009. The song itself was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Diane Warren specifically for Eurovision.
ABBA's winning 1974 entry "Waterloo" is most likely to be the biggest international hit from the Eurovision Song Contest.
Engelbert Humperdinck, who represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2012, came last-but-one with only 12 points in total. The only other country with fewer votes was Norway, with just 7 points.
Jedward placed 23rd in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 final with the song "Waterline".
