The '''Netherlands''' was one of the seven countries competing in the very first '''Eurovision Song Contest''' in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1956|1956]]. It has missed only four contests so far.

With four victories the Netherlands ranks in the top 10 most successful Eurovision countries. Nevertheless the latest victory was in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1975|1975]] and has had mixed success since, with roughly half of the songs placing in the Top-10 as well as outside it. Notable high placings in the 1980s and 1990s were credited to [[Bernadette Kraakman|Bernadette]], [[Marcha]], [[Gerard Joling]], [[Humphrey Campbell]], [[Ruth Jacott]] and [[Edsilia Rombley]], who all placed in the Top-10 and were picked as favorites to win before their respective Contests.

The last time the Netherlands was in the final was in the 2004 contest, the country having failed since then to qualify from the semi-final round. The Netherlands is currently ranked 11th in the list of countries with most points awarded through the years.

The Netherlands has hosted the Eurovision Song Contest four times: in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1958|1958]], [[Eurovision Song Contest 1970|1970]], [[Eurovision Song Contest 1976|1976]] and [[Eurovision Song Contest 1980|1980]]. The first three times was after winning the previous year, while the 1980 contest was when Israel could not organise is for a second time in two years. For the same reason the Netherlands declined the right to organise the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1960|1960]] contest.

==Absences==
The Netherlands has missed only four contests in its Eurovision history. The first of these was at the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1985|1985 contest]], held in [[Gothenburg]], [[Sweden]]. The contest, held on 4 May conflicted with the Dutch [[Remembrance of the Dead]] national holiday, and as such the Netherlands withdrew.<ref>[http://www.eurovision.tv/index/main?page=66&event=301#event_info_301 History - Eurovision Song Contest 1985] ''Eurovision.tv''</ref>

In [[Eurovision Song Contest 1991|1991]] the contest was again held on 4 May, and so the Netherlands withdrew for the same reasons as in 1985.<ref>[http://www.eurovision.tv/index/main?page=66&event=307 History - Eurovision Song Contest 1991] ''Eurovision.tv''</ref>

The [[Eurovision Song Contest 1995|1995]] and [[Eurovision Song Contest 2002|2002]] contest were also missed. However this was because the Netherlands scored poorly the previous years, 23rd in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1994|1994]] and 19th in [[Eurovision Song Contest 2001|2001]].
