Its best results were achieved with "Let Me Try" by Luminița Anghel and Sistem in 2005, and "Playing with Fire" by Paula Seling and Ovi in 2010, who both finished in third place.

Televiziunea Română (TVR) is a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 1 January 1993, thus eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest since then.

[2] The country's first official participation occurred in 1994 with "Dincolo de nori" by Dan Bittman placing 21st in the contest's final.

As of 2023,[update] this remains Romania's best result in the contest, alongside "Playing with Fire" by Paula Seling and Ovi in 2010, which also finished third.

[2] 2019 was TVR's first year to significantly invest in a performance; the costs for the use of graphics and special effects during the show for "On a Sunday" by Ester Peony amounted to 100,000 euros.

[22] Since 1993, TVR organises Selecția Națională,[a] a song contest which has been taking place every year except for 2021, to select its entry for Eurovision.

Roxen was selected by TVR out of exclusive partner Global Records's roster, and was appointed five songs for a jury and the public to choose from.

[38][39] "The Balkan Girls" by Elena topped the Romanian chart in 2009, and similar success was attained by "Zaleilah" by Mandinga in 2012, obtaining number two in the country's Airplay 100 ranking and a Gold certification for digital downloads exceeding 10,000 copies in Romania.

The delegation, whose size can greatly vary, includes a head of press, the performers, songwriters, composers, and backing vocalists, among others.

[64] Each participating broadcaster assembles a five-member jury panel consisting of music industry professionals for the semi-finals and final of the Eurovision Song Contest, ranking all entries except their own.
