Ireland will select their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 on February 7.
Éirevision has revealed during their latest episode that the Irish national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is set to take place on February 7. Eurosong will remain on The Late Late Show, with six artists competing to represent Ireland in Basel this coming May.
Eurosong has been held as part of The Late Late Show since 2009 after RTÉ had held a stand alone national final for the last time in 2008. The Late Late Show has been on air since 1962 and is the longest running live talk show globally.
Bambie Thug represented Ireland at Eurovision 2024 in Malmö with the song “Doomsday Blue”. They scored a total of 278 points and finished in 6th place. This is Ireland’s best result since 2000, where Eamonn Toal finished 6th with the song “Millennium of Love”.

Ireland debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1965 and is the joint most successful country to have participated in the contest, winning a total of seven times. During the 1990’s Ireland was a powerhouse in the contest becoming the first country to win three years in a row from 1992 to 1994. In the 2000s Ireland has struggled in the contest having qualified from the semi-final into the final just seven out of a possible seventeen times. In 2024, Bambie Thug gave Ireland their best result since 2000, finishing in 6th place.
