Eurovision Song Contest 1970

The Eurovision Song Contest 1970 was the 15th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 21 March 1970 at the RAI Expositie-en-Congrescentrum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and presented by Willy Dobbe. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS), who staged the event after winning the 1969 contest for the Netherlands in a joint victory with France, Spain, and the United Kingdom. As the 1969 contest was held in Spain, and the 1968 contest in the United Kingdom, a draw of ballots between the French and the Dutch broadcasters resulted in NOS being chosen as the host broadcaster.

Broadcasters from twelve countries participated in the contest this year, the lowest number of participants since 1959. Finland, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden all boycotted the 1970 edition, officially because they felt that the contest marginalised smaller countries and was no longer good television entertainment, though it is rumoured that they, along with Austria which had already opted not to take part in 1969, were protesting the four-way tie result that had occurred that year.

The winner was Ireland with the song "All Kinds of Everything", performed by Dana, and written by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith. This was Ireland's first of their eventual record seven victories in the contest. The United Kingdom finished in second place for a record-extending seventh time, while Germany ended up in third place – the best result for the country at the time. This was also the only time that Luxembourg received nul points.
