The Eurovision Song Contest 1970 was the 15th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest and took place in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster {{lang|nl|Nederlandse Omroep Stichting|i=unset}} (NOS), the contest was held at the {{lang|nl|RAI Congrescentrum|i=unset}} on 21 March 1970, and was hosted by Dutch television presenter Willy Dobbe.
Twelve countries participated in the contest this year. This was the lowest number of participants since the {{escyr|1959}} edition. The reason was that {{Esccnty|Finland}}, {{Esccnty|Norway}}, {{Esccnty|Portugal}}, {{Esccnty|Sweden}}, and {{Esccnty|Austria}} all boycotted the 1970 edition, officially because they felt that the contest marginalised smaller countries and was no longer good television entertainment,{{cite news|author=|date=7 November 1969|title=Les pays nordiques ne participeront pas au prochain concours de la chanson de l'Eurovision|trans-title=The Nordic countries will not participate in the next Eurovision Song Contest|url= https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=JDJ19691107-01.2.42.20.3&srpos=41&e=-------de-20--41--txt-txIN-%22de+l%27Eurovision%22-------0-----|language=French|work=Journal du Jura|location=Bienne, Switzerland|access-date=25 July 2022|via=e-newspaperarchives.ch}} though it is rumoured that this was also in protest of the four-way tie result that had occurred in 1969.O'Connor, John Kennedy.

The winner of the competition was {{Esccnty|Ireland|y=1970}} with the song "All Kinds of Everything", performed by Dana, and written by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith. This was Ireland's first of their eventual record seven victories in the contest. The {{Esccnty|United Kingdom|y=1970}} finished in second place for the seventh time, while {{Esccnty|Germany|y=1970}} ended up in third place{{snd}}the best result for the country at the time. This was also the only time that {{Esccnty|Luxembourg|y=1970}} received nul points.

Due to there being four winners in the {{escyr|1969||previous contest}}, a question was raised as to which broadcaster would host the 1970 contest. With {{Esccnty|Spain}}'s {{lang|es|Televisión Española|i=no}} (TVE) having hosted in 1969 and the {{Esccnty|United Kingdom}}'s British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in {{escyr|1968}}, only {{Esccnty|France}}'s {{lang|fr|Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française|i=no}} (ORTF) and the {{Esccnty|Netherlands}}'s {{lang|nl|Nederlandse Omroep Stichting|i=no}} (NOS) were in consideration. A draw of ballots between these two resulted in NOS being chosen as the host broadcaster.{{cite web |last1=Escudero |first1=Victor M. |date=29 April 2020 |title=Happy 50th Anniversary, Eurovision 1970! |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/happy-50th-anniversary-1970-eurovision |access-date=17 June 2021 |publisher=European Broadcasting Union}}
The {{lang|nl|Congrescentrum|i=unset}}, venue of the 1970 contest, is a semi-permanent exhibit at the Ferdinand Bolstraat to Amsterdam and was opened on 31 October 1922. This building was replaced in 1961 by the current RAI building on Europe's Square. The current congress and event center on Europe Square, was designed by Alexander Bodon and opened on 2 February 1961.

Format
Following the confirmation of the twelve competing countries, the draw to determine the running order of the contest was held on 15 January 1970.{{cite news |title=Nederland eerste op songfestival |trans-title=The Netherlands first at the song contest |url=https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ABCDDD:010848350:mpeg21:p006 |access-date=30 January 2025 |work=De Volkskrant |date=16 January 1970 |page=6 |location=Amsterdam, Netherlands |language=nl |via=Delpher}}
The Dutch producers were forced to pad out the show as only 12 nations decided to make the trip to Amsterdam. The result was a format that has endured almost to the present day. An extended opening sequence (filmed in Amsterdam) set the scene, while every entry was introduced by a short video 'postcard' featuring each of the participating artists, ostensibly in their own nation. However, the 'postcards' for Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Monaco were all filmed on location in Paris (as was the French postcard). The long introduction film (over four minutes long) was followed by what probably is one of the shortest ever introductions by any presenter. Willy Dobbe only welcomed the viewers in English, French, and Dutch, finishing her introduction after only 24 seconds. On-screen captions introduced each entry, with the song titles listed all in lowercase and the names of the artist and composers/authors all in capitals.
The set design was devised by Roland de Groot; a simple design was composed of a number of curved horizontal bars and silver baubles which could be moved in a variety of different ways.
To avoid an incident like in 1969, a tie-breaking rule was created. It stated that, if two or more songs gained the same number of votes and were tied for first place, each song would have to be performed again. After which each national jury (other than the juries of the countries concerned) would have a show of hands of which they thought was the best. If the countries tied again, then they would share first place.

Ireland won the contest with "All Kinds of Everything", penned by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith, and sung by another unknown, Dana, an 18-year-old schoolgirl from Derry, Northern Ireland. As the contest was held in the Netherlands this year, and the country was one of the four winners in 1969, Dana received her awards from the Dutch winner Lenny Kuhr.
