Ireland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1971 with the song "One Day Love", written by Donald Martin and Ita Flynn, and performed by Angela Farrell. The Irish participating broadcaster, Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ), selected its entry through a national final. The song eventually finished in eleventh place in the international final held at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin. This was Ireland's first time hosting the Eurovision Song Contest, following the country's first victory in 1970 with "All Kinds Of Everything", sung by 18-year-old Dana.
