Iceland has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 36 times since its debut in, missing only two contests since then, in and, when prevented from competing due to finishing outside qualification places the preceding years. The country's best result is second place, which it achieved with "All Out of Luck" by Selma in and "Is It True?" by Yohanna in . The Icelandic participant broadcaster in the contest is Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV), which select its entrant with the national competition Söngvakeppnin.

History

Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV) is a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), thus eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. It has participated in the contest representing Iceland since its in 1986 –twenty years after RÚV was founded–.

Iceland's best position at the contest is second place, which they have achieved twice: in with the song "All Out of Luck" performed by Selma, beaten by 's "Take Me to Your Heaven" by Charlotte Nilsson, and in with "Is It True?" performed by Yohanna, beaten by 's "Fairytale" by Alexander Rybak.

In contrast Iceland's worst result in a grand final is last place, which has been achieved twice to date: in, when "Það sem enginn sér" by Daníel Ágúst received nul points, and in, when "Angel" by Two Tricky received three points.

With the introduction of semi-finals in, Iceland automatically qualified for the final that year due to Birgitta's eighth place the previous year. In, Iceland reached the final for the first time since then, with "This Is My Life" by Euroband. Iceland qualified for the final in seven consecutive contests between and before failing to qualify for the final from to . In, Hatari brought the country back to the final for the first time since 2014, finishing tenth, which was followed by a fourth-place finish for Daði og Gagnamagnið in, Iceland's joint-second best result to date, and a 23rd-place finish for Systur in . Further non-qualifications came with Diljá in and Hera Björk in .

Despite these mixed fortunes, Iceland is the second most successful country never to have won the contest (behind only).

Sigríður Beinteinsdóttir has participated five times (as a member of a group in 1990 and 1992, as a solo artist in 1994, and as a background vocalist in 1991 and 2006). Hera Björk has also participated five times (as a backing vocalist in 2008, 2009 and 2015, and as a solo artist in 2010 and 2024).
