The competition consisted of 20 shows and concluded with a final, resulting in the selection of "We've Got the World" performed by Mickey Joe Harte as the Irish Eurovision entry after facing a public televote.
Ireland competed in the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 24 May 2003. Performing during the show in position 3, Ireland placed eleventh out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 53 points.

As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, RTÉ organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. The broadcaster has consistently used a national final procedure to choose its entry at the contest, with several artists and songs being featured. RTÉ confirmed its intentions to participate at the 2003 contest on 2 September 2002.[1] For the 2003 contest, the broadcaster announced alongside its participation that both the song and performer for the contest would be selected via the talent contest You're a Star.[2]
Before Eurovision
You're a Star
Script error: No such module "labelled list hatnote". RTÉ selected its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 through the first season of the music competition series You're a Star, which was developed by RTÉ and co-produced with ShinAwil Productions.[3][4] The shows took place in the Mahoney Hall of the Helix in the Dublin City University (DCU), hosted by Ray D'Arcy and featured a judging panel composed of composer and musician Phil Coulter, television personality and former member of Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona, music publicist Darren Smith and music manager Louis Walsh.[2][5] The competition consisted of 20 shows, which commenced on 3 November 2002 and concluded on 8 March 2003. All shows in the competition were broadcast on RTÉ One.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The competition took place over two phases. The first phase involved over 5,000 candidates attending auditions held across Ireland in Dún Laoghaire, Belfast, Dundalk, Cork, Killarney, Kilkenny, Galway, Derry, and South Dublin. The first ten shows showcased the auditions and selected a total of 13 contestants to go forward to the next stage in the competition.[4] Nine of the contestants were selected following a public televote (one per audition city) with the remaining four selected by the judging panel (one per judge).[6][7] The second phase was the ten live shows where the results of all shows were determined solely by a public televote; the judging panel participated in an advisory role only. Following the seventh show, the four contestants remaining in the competition were matched with a potential Eurovision Song Contest song selected by two of the competition judges Phil Coulter and Louis Walsh from entries received through established composers approached by RTÉ.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The public televote that took place in both phases was conducted through telephone and SMS.[8]

Delayed televoting results
Televoting was provided to viewers in Ireland during the contest, however due to a delay in receiving the full results the votes of an assembled back-up jury were used instead to provide the Irish votes.[17][18] RTÉ subsequently revealed the top 10 countries from the Irish televoting after the contest.[19]
