Every Eurovision winner of the 2010s

Ten contests, nine winning countries, and a host that was the previous year's winner every single time. The 2010s are the decade the archive describes most cleanly, so a table does most of the work.

The table

The rows and the notes below come from the same archive that runs the history page, and from nothing else.

2010 to 2014

2010. Norway hosted the 55th contest at the Telenor Arena in Oslo, and Germany won with "Satellite", sung by Lena.

2011. Germany hosted in Düsseldorf, at the Esprit Arena. Azerbaijan won with "Running Scared" by Ell and Nikki — the archive records it as a win at the country's fourth attempt.

2012. Azerbaijan hosted the 57th contest at the Baku Crystal Hall. Sweden won with "Euphoria", sung by Loreen. When Loreen won again in 2023, she became the second performer to win the contest twice.

2013. Sweden hosted in Malmö, at the Malmö Arena, and Denmark won with "Only Teardrops" by Emmelie de Forest.

2014. Denmark hosted the 59th contest in Copenhagen, at B&W Hallerne. Austria won with "Rise Like a Phoenix", sung by Conchita Wurst.

2015 to 2019

2015. Austria hosted the 60th contest at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna. Sweden won for the second time in the decade, with "Heroes" by Måns Zelmerlöw. It was the contest Australia was invited to as a guest.

2016. Sweden hosted again, at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, and Ukraine won with "1944" by Jamala. The jury and public votes were split and announced separately for the first time, which is why the winner changed on the final reveal.

2017. Ukraine hosted the 62nd contest at the International Exhibition Centre in Kyiv. Portugal won with "Amar pelos dois", sung by Salvador Sobral: its first win, 53 years after its debut, and the longest wait in the contest's history.

2018. Portugal hosted in Lisbon, at the Altice Arena, and Israel won with "Toy" by Netta.

2019. Israel hosted the 64th contest at Expo Tel Aviv. The Netherlands won with "Arcade" by Duncan Laurence — its first win in 44 years.

Patterns a table shows

Sweden won twice, in 2012 and 2015, and is the only country that appears in the winner column more than once. The host column shows the cost: Sweden staged the contest in 2013 and again in 2016. See Sweden's record.

The host was the previous winner, ten years out of ten. Every entry in the host column is the winner from the row above it. That is the contest's ordinary rule, and the decade is a clean run of it; the archive's exceptions all sit outside it — 1980, when Israel declined to host a second year running and the Netherlands stepped in, and 2023, when the United Kingdom hosted on Ukraine's behalf.

Two first-time winners whose waits were the story. Portugal in 2017, after 53 years; and the Netherlands in 2019, ending a 44-year gap since its previous win. See Portugal's record for the longer of the two.

One hall appears twice in the Bulgarian story. The Wiener Stadthalle hosted the 60th contest in 2015, and it is where Bulgaria won the 70th in 2026, with "Bangaranga" by Dara.

The decade's winners sit in the all-time table on the tracker.

What is not settled for 2027

The 71st contest is in Burgas: Semi-Final 1 on Tuesday 11 May, Semi-Final 2 on Thursday 13 May and the Grand Final on Saturday 15 May 2027, at Arena Burgas. Bulgaria hosts because it won in 2026 — the same rule that produced every host in the table above.

Who fills the winner column for 2027 is the one thing this page cannot say, and it will not guess: the participant list is not final and the rules have not been published. The tracker records where every country stands today.
