Moldova has been represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 19 times, debuting in Template:Escyr. The Moldovan participating broadcaster in the contest is Script error: No such module "Lang". (TRM). The country's best result is a third-place finish with "Hey Mamma" by SunStroke Project in Template:Escyr.

The country also reached the top ten with "Fight" by Natalia Barbu (Template:Escyr), "My Lucky Day" by DoReDoS (Template:Escyr), and "Script error: No such module "Lang"." by Zdob și Zdub and Advahov Brothers (Template:Escyr). In total, Moldova has reached the final twelve times, failing to qualify from the semi-finals in Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr, and Template:Escyr. Despite initially confirming participation in the Template:Escyr contest, TRM later withdrew, citing economic and artistic challenges.

History

SunStroke Project (pictured) placed third with their Template:Escyr entry "Hey Mamma".

Script error: No such module "Lang". (TRM) is a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), thus eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. It has participated in the contest representing Moldova since its Template:Escyr in 2005.

Following Moldova's 20th-place finish in the Template:Escyr contest, TRM announced that it would not participate in Template:Escyr, and did not allocate a budget for the 2007 Contest. However, in response to public pressure, TRM filed the preliminary documents to compete and sent Natalia Barbu with song "Fight".[1] She achieved 10th place.

In Template:Escyr, Moldova, for the first time in its four years of participation, failed to make the final. "A Century of Love", performed by Geta Burlacu, finished in 12th place in the semi-final. In Template:Escyr, Moldova achieved 14th place with Nelly Ciobanu. In Template:Escyr, saxophonist Sergey Stepanov of SunStroke Project became the internet phenomenon ("Epic Sax Guy") with his 30-second saxophone solo.

In Template:Escyr, Zdob și Zdub represented Moldova for a second time in the contest, with the song "So Lucky" placing 12th in the final. In Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr respectively, Moldova achieved 11th place with Pasha Parfeny and Aliona Moon respectively.

From Template:Escyr to Template:Escyr, Moldova failed to qualify for the final. The country finished in last position in the 2014 semi-final, 11th in the 2015 semi-final, and pre-last in the 2016 semi-final. In Template:Escyr, Moldova achieved its best result at the contest, when SunStroke Project finished third in the final with the song "Hey, Mamma!". The streak of top 10 results continued in Template:Escyr with the band DoReDos finishing 10th in Lisbon. However in 2019, Moldova failed to qualify for the first time since 2016, finishing 12th in the semi-final.

In Template:Escyr, Natalia Gordienko, who previously represented Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, was selected to represent the country with the song "Prison", though the contest was cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic. Gordienko was then internally selected to represent Moldova in Template:Escyr with the song "Sugar". She eventually qualified to the grand final and placed in 13th position with 115 points.[2] Her 17-second note at the end of "Sugar" was reported to be the longest note in Eurovision history.[3] For the Template:Escyr contest in Turin, Zdob și Zdub, who previously represented the country in Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr, and the Advahov Brothers were exclusively selected following a live audition round held by the broadcaster. Performing "Script error: No such module "Lang".", the act eventually qualified for the final and ultimately placed seventh with 253 points. The group finished in second place with the public televote in the final, which is Moldova's highest placing in the televote to date. This marked the country's best result since Template:Escyr and third highest placing to date. This was followed in Template:Escyr by an eighteenth place finish with "Script error: No such module "Lang".", performed by Pasha Parfeni, who previously represented Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012. In Template:Escyr, Moldova failed to qualify for the first time in five years, with Natalia Barbu, who previously represented Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, finishing in thirteenth place in the semi-final with "In the Middle".

On 16 November 2024, TRM confirmed its intention to participate in the Template:Escyr contest, holding a live audition round for its national final with 26 entries on 18 January 2025. However, on 22 January, TRM announced its withdrawal from the contest due to economic reasons and the perceived quality of its national final.[4][5] The broadcaster did not rule out a future return to the contest, stating that it would "review the criteria and methodology for selecting the country's representative for the international stage".[4]
