- A relegation system was introduced for the first time, barring the seven lowest-scoring countries from 1993 and enabling a record seven débuts (Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia and Slovakia), while Italy’s withdrawal led to Cyprus being reinstated.
- Poland narrowly avoided sanctions after Edyta Górniak sang part of her song in English during the jury-heard dress rehearsal, breaching language rules.
- Ireland achieved an unprecedented third consecutive win and a record sixth overall, with a record 226 points—the first winner to surpass 200 and to win without the orchestra—while the interval act debuted “Riverdance.”
