Vatican City

Vatican City debuted in the third edition.

History
Vatican City debuted in the third edition of the contest in Barcelona, Spain. The nation competed for a total of 7 editions before their broadcaster, Vatican Radio, officially terminated their MBU membership.

The country achieved its best result in the fifth edition in Tirana, Albania, when Canadian singer Alessia Cara placed 6th with the song "Growing Pains" scoring 190 points.

A future return from the country is unlikely, as Vatican Radio – the nation's only broadcaster – would have to regain MBU membership, which is not something the broadcaster is planning on doing in the foreseeable future.
