On 14 July 2014, CyBC officially confirmed its return to the contest for 2015, with the country then qualifying for the final every year since, has since qualified for the final every year, a streak that lasted until 2022 when it did not qualify. Cyprus returned to the final again in 2023 and 2024, but failed to qualify once more in 2025.
