- Participation hit a then-record 25 countries as the EBU expanded the field and introduced a one-off qualifying show, Kvalifikacija za Millstreet, to select three debuting entrants—Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Slovenia—while Yugoslavia was barred amid sanctions and the breakup of its broadcaster.
- The contest was staged in tiny Millstreet, still the smallest settlement to host (and mocked by some as a “cowshed”), requiring major infrastructure upgrades.
- Ireland won again, matching the all-time wins record and setting a then-record 187 points; Malta’s jury vote was delayed by a telephone fault and given last.
