Eurovision Song Contest 1980

The Eurovision Song Contest 1980 was the 25th Eurovision Song Contest and was held on April 19, 1980 in The Hague. The presenter was Marlous Fluitsma .

Israel, winners in 1979, declined to participate in 1980 because the date set for the contest by the European Broadcasting Union coincided with Israel's National Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Netherlands agreed to host the event in their place.

Johnny Logan was the winner of this Eurovision with the song, What's Another Year .
