The participation of Costa Rica in the OTI Festival began at the fifth OTI Festival in 1976. The Costa Rican participating broadcasters were Televisora de Costa Rica (Teletica) and Corporación Costarricense de Televisión (Telecentro) (latter Representaciones Televisivas (Repretel)), which were members of the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI) and participated jointly –or in turn– in the event. They participated in all twenty-four editions after their debut. Their best result in the festival was second achieved in 1997. Repretel hosted the event in 1998.
