The Netherlands participated at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2009, which took place in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Ralf Mackenbach represented the country with the song "Click Clack".

AVRO held a national final to select the Dutch entry for the contest.

The names of the 10 successful entries that qualified to the live shows were released on 2 June 2009.

The artists collaborated on a theme song for the competition, "Morgen is vandaag" (Tomorrow is today), which was included on the compilation CD, alongside the 10 competing songs, available in September, and was performed in both semi-finals and the final.
