New Zealand at the Your Eurovision Song Contest


New Zealand has participated in Your Eurovision 10 times since their debut in September 2013. The broadcaster of New Zealand, YE.NZ, has been the organiser of the New Zealand entry ever since the country's debut in the contest and has used an internal selection to select the New Zealand entries.

 

In September 2013, New Zealand's first entry at Your Eurovision, Lorde, finished 13th in the final. They achieved their best rank in Autumn 2014, when Jackie Thomas achieved 5th place in the final. This is still the country's best result.

 

New Zealand debuted in the rebooted series of Your Eurovision in Amsterdam 2020.2 with the group Maimoa and their song "Whāia", the first Polynesian language entry at Your Eurovision.
