The Netherlands was one of the seven countries competing in the very first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. It has only missed four contests so far.
In 1985 and 1991 the Netherlands did not compete in the Eurovision Song Contest because it was held on the same date as the country's Remembrance Day commemoration (4 May). In 1995 the Netherlands was not present because it had been ranked too low the previous year, the same occurred in 2002 after a dismal score in 2001.
With four victories the Netherlands ranks in the top 10 most successful Eurovision countries. Nevertheless the latest victory dates to 1975 and the country scored poorly overall during the last decade. The last time The Netherlands was in the final was in the 2004 contest, because since 2005, they have not qualify from the semi-final. They are currently ranked 11th on the list of most points rewarded through the years.
The Netherlands has hosted the Eurovision Song Contest four times: in 1958, 1970, 1976 and 1980. The first three times was after winning the previous year. The last time in 1980 it was because Israel could not organise is a second time in two years. For the same reason the Netherlans declined the right to organise the 1960 contest.
