All 56 member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are eligible to compete in Eurovision, and Israel has been a member of the EBU since 1957. In 1973 Israel became the first country outside of Europe to participate, and it has won the contest four times (1978, 1979, 1998, and 2018). Other non-European countries that have since participated in Eurovision include Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan (winners in 2011), and Australia.
