Croatia in the Eurovision Song Contest
Croatia has participated in Eurovision Song Contest 29 times since their debut in 1993. The first victory for Croatia in Eurovision is yet to come. The best result is from 2024 where Baby Lasagna finished 2nd with "Rim Tim Tagi Dim."
Since the introduction of the Semi-finals in 2004, Croatia has qualified for the Grand Final 9 out of 18 times. They withdrew from Eurovision 2014 and 2015 due to financial limitations and poor results in the contest.
