Does the winning country always host next?

The tradition of the winning country staging the following Contest began in 1958, but it has never been absolute. On several occasions another broadcaster has stepped in when the previous winner could not or did not host. The United Kingdom has done this more often than any other country.

The smallest Eurovision host

Millstreet in Ireland remains the smallest place to have hosted Eurovision. The 1993 Contest was staged at the Green Glens Arena in a town of roughly 1,500 people at the time.
