The Irish participating broadcaster, Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ), selected its entry through a national final, which ultimately won the contest.

In addition, RTÉ was also the host broadcaster –for the second year in a row– and staged the event at the Point Theatre in Dublin, after winning the previous edition with the song "In Your Eyes" by Niamh Kavanagh.

Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ) held its national final in the University Concert Hall in Limerick on 13 March 1994.

TV broadcaster and Eurovision Song Contest 1988 co-presenter Pat Kenny hosted the event.

"Rock 'n' Roll Kids" was performed third in the running order on the night of the contest, following Finland and preceding Cyprus.
