The participation of Argentina in the OTI Festival began at the first OTI Festival in 1972. The Argentinian participating broadcasters were Argentina Televisora Color (ATC) and Teleonce, which were members of the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI). They participated in twenty-seven of the twenty-eight editions, only missing the 1974 festival. They won the festival four times: in 1979, 1988, 1991, and 1994; and ATC hosted the event twice: in 1980 and 1988. All Argentinian entries were selected internally.
