The most successful entry from Romania was in 2005 and 2010. In 2005, when the Contest took place in Kyiv, Ukraine, Luminița Anghel & Sistem finished in third place with their entry “Let Me Try”, scoring 158 points. This included three sets of twelve points from Israel, Portugal and Spain.

In 2010, when the Contest took place in Oslo, Norway, Paula Seling & Ovi finished in third place with their entry “Playing with Fire”, scoring 162 points. This included one set of twelve points from Moldova.

The most recent Romanian entry was due to be in 2020, when the cancelled Contest was due to take place in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Roxen was due to represent Romania with her entry “Alcohol You”.
