Croatia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song "Moja štikla", composed by Boris Novković and Franjo Valentić, with lyrics by Severina Vučković, and performed by Severina herself. The Croatian participating broadcaster, Hrvatska radiotelevizija (HRT), organised the national final Dora 2006 to select its entry for the contest. Thirty-two entries competed in the national final which consisted of three shows: two semi-finals and a final. Eight entries qualified from each semi-final on 2 and 3 March 2006 to compete in the final on 4 March 2006. In the final, "Moja štikla" performed by Severina was selected as the winner following the combination of votes from a five-member jury panel and a public televote. Songwriter Novković had represented Croatia in 2005 together with Lado members.
Croatia automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing during the show in position 20, Croatia placed twelfth out of the 24 participating countries with 56 points.
