Eurovision 2023: Who are the previous winners? Full list including host country, song title and points won

Even the most coveted Eurovision fan might struggle to name the year the UK last won the song contest, or which year we last saw a tie. With Liverpool set to host Eurovision 2023, you might find yourself in a position to brush up on your pop culture knowledge, whether that’s for a pub quiz or simply to impress your friends on the night.

Well, that’s where this list comes in handy, with the full list of winners, host countries, song titles and number of points won written out. Whatever knowledge gaps you have – such as which year saw a four-way tie – this list will help to smooth them out.

Some of the main winners of the past few years include Måneskin who won 2021s contest, which was hosted by Rotterdam. The Italian group have amassed wide-spread popularity since the release of their Eurovision hit.

In addition, Eurovision 2023 marks one of the years where the previous winners of the contest – in this case, Ukraine – haven’t hosted the song contest. The UK will host the competition instead in light of the Russia-Ukraine war after Eurovision 2022 hopeful Sam Ryder came in second place.

From crowd-pleaser ABBA’s Waterloo to 2022 Ukraine winners Kalush Orchestra, here’s the full list of previous Eurovision winners. If you need to brush up on your Eurovision knowledge, this is the place to do it.
