Ireland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song "Doomsday Blue", written by Bambie Ray Robinson, Olivia Cassy Brooking, Sam Matlock, and Tyler Ryder, and performed by Robinson themself under their stage name Bambie Thug. The Irish participating broadcaster, Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), organised the national final Eurosong 2024 in order to select its entry for the contest.

Ireland was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 7 May 2024 and was later selected to perform in position 4. At the end of the show, "Doomsday Blue" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and hence qualified to compete in the final, marking Ireland's first qualification to the final since 2018. It was later revealed that Ireland placed third out of the fifteen participating countries in the semi-final with 124 points. In the final, Ireland performed in position 10 and placed sixth out of the 25 performing countries, scoring a total of 278 points, marking the country's highest placing since 2000.
