The Netherlands was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 with the song "Shine" written by Bas van den Heuvel and Gordon Heuckeroth. The song was performed by the group De Toppers, which was internally selected by the Dutch broadcaster Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS) to represent the Netherlands at the 2009 contest in Moscow, Russia. De Toppers' appointment as the Dutch representative was announced on 19 September 2008, while the national final Nationaal Songfestival 2009 was organised in order to select the song. Six songs competed in the national final on 1 February 2009 where "Shine" was selected as the winning song following the combination of votes from a five-member jury panel and a public vote.
The Netherlands was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 14 May 2009. Performing as the closing entry during the show in position 19, "Shine" was not among the 10 qualifying entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that the Netherlands placed seventeenth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 11 points.

The Dutch least successful result has been last place, which they have achieved on four occasions, most recently in the 1968 contest.{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 2011 Semi-Final (2)|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=1543|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} The Netherlands has also received nul points on two occasions; in {{Escyr|1962}} and {{Escyr|1963}}.{{cite web|title=History by Country – The Netherlands|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-country/country?country=15|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}}
The Dutch national broadcaster, Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS), broadcasts the event within the Netherlands and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. The Netherlands has used various methods to select the Dutch entry in the past, such as the Nationaal Songfestival, a live televised national final to choose the performer, song or both to compete at Eurovision. However, internal selections have also been held on occasion. Since 2007, the broadcaster has internally selected the Dutch entry for the contest. For 2009, the broadcaster opted to select the Dutch artist through an internal selection, while Nationaal Songfestival was organised to select the song.{{cite web |last=Romkes |first=René |date=2008-09-30 |title=Exclusive interview with De Toppers |url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12336 |access-date=2008-10-01 |publisher=ESCToday}}

File:De Toppers.jpgFollowing Hind's failure to qualify to the final in 2008 with the song "Your Heart Belongs to Me", the Dutch broadcaster internally selected the artist for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009. An Internet poll conducted by Dutch social networking site Hyves in July 2008 was won by singer Anouk.{{cite web |author=Romkes, René |date=2008-07-12 |title=Dutch fans start search for 2009 already |url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12148 |access-date=2008-07-29 |publisher=ESCToday}}{{cite web |last=Viniker |first=Barry |date=2008-08-18 |title=Anouk: "I would sing for Netherlands" |url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12212 |access-date=2008-08-19 |publisher=ESCToday}}{{cite web |date=2008-07-12 |title=Anouk says 'yes' to song contest |url=http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2008/08/anouk_says_yes_to_song_contest.php |access-date=2008-07-29 |publisher=Dutch News}} On 19 September 2008, NOS announced that they had selected the group De Toppers to represent the Netherlands at the 2009 contest.{{Cite web |date=19 September 2008 |title=Toppers to represent the Netherlands |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/toppers-to-represent-the-netherlands |website=eurovision.tv}}{{cite web |last=Viniker |first=Barry |date=2008-09-19 |title=De Toppers confirmed for Eurovision |url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12306 |access-date=2008-09-19 |publisher=ESCToday}} Among the members of the group were Gerard Joling who previously represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest 1988, placing ninth with the song "Shangri-La", and Gordon Heuckeroth who had previously attempted to represent the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2003, placing second in the national final with the song "I'll Be Your Voice".{{Cite web |title=Netherlands 2009 |url=https://esckaz.com/2020/net.htm}} On 30 September 2008, it was revealed that their Eurovision song would be selected through the national final Nationaal Songfestival 2009.
On 5 November 2008, it was revealed that complications within Joling and Gordon as well as TROS and NOS, mainly of disagreements over the planned docusoap Op weg naar Moskou, have resulted in the Dutch participation coming under threat. De Toppers' manager Benno de Leeuw was hospitalised for a week during the incident and therefore no agreement could be made.{{cite web |last=Romkes |first=René |date=2009-11-05 |title=The Netherlands: De Toppers to split? |url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12475 |access-date=2008-11-09 |publisher=ESCToday}} Joling left the group on 9 November 2008, and singer Jeroen van der Boom was confirmed as the replacement member on 11 November 2008 despite reports that NOS would select another artist for the contest.{{cite web |last=Romkes |first=René |date=2008-11-09 |title=Netherlands: Joling leaves De Toppers! |url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12494 |access-date=2008-11-09 |publisher=ESCToday}}{{cite web |last=Romkes |first=Rene |date=2008-11-11 |title=Netherlands: Jeroen van der Boom is the new Topper |url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12504 |access-date=2008-11-11 |publisher=ESCToday}}

Each juror assigned their points as follows: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 points. The viewer vote was based on the percentage of votes each song achieved through the following voting methods: telephone and SMS voting. For example, if a song gained 10% of the vote, then that entry would be awarded 10% of 420 points rounded to the nearest integer: 42 points. The jury panel consisted of co-owner of 8Ball Music/Talpa Music Tony Berk, singer and actress Tatjana Šimić, radio DJ Daniël Dekker, lead-singer of Dutch 1975 Eurovision winner Teach-In Getty Kaspers, and lyricist and producer Emile Hartkamp.{{Cite web |date=2009-02-05 |title=SONGFESTIVAL.NL: Voorpagina |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090205112813/http://www.songfestival.nl/ |access-date=2025-04-02 |website=songfestival.nl |language=nl}}{{cite web |last=Romkes |first=René |date=2009-02-02 |title=The Netherlands: Press Conference |url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/13132 |access-date=2009-02-02 |publisher=ESCToday}} In addition to the performances of the competing songs, past Dutch Eurovision entrants Saskia and Serge (1971), Ben Cramer (1973), Heddy Lester (1977), Bill van Dijk (1982), Laura Vlasblom (1986), Rosina Brochard (1978) and Marga Bult (1987) were also present during the show.{{cite web |last=Romkes |first=René |date=2009-01-28 |title=Netherlands: More details about Dutch final |url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/13066 |access-date=2009-01-28 |publisher=ESCToday}} The first part of the national final was watched by 1.835 million viewers in the Netherlands with a market share of 24.4%, while the second part was watched by 1.848 million viewers with a market share of 30.3%.{{Cite web |date=2 February 2009 |title=Ruim 1,8 miljoen kijkers voor NSF |url=https://www.songfestivalweblog.nl/2009/02/ruim-18-miljoen/ |access-date=21 September 2022 |website=songfestivalweblog.nl |language=nl}}

In the lead up to the Eurovision Song Contest, De Toppers' promotional activities occurred entirely within the Netherlands where they performed at live events, radio shows and talk shows. On 18 April, De Toppers performed during the Eurovision in Concert event which was held at the Amsterdam Marcanti venue and hosted by Marga Bult and Maggie MacNeal.{{cite web |last=Romkes |first=René |date=2008-03-26 |title=Netherlands: Eurovision in Concert 2009 |url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/13593 |access-date=2009-04-26 |publisher=ESCToday}} Between 19 March and 7 May, the seven-episode docusoap Toppers op weg naar Moskou was broadcast on Nederland 1 which covered the group's promotional activities and preparations for the contest.{{Cite web |title=Toppers op weg naar Moskou |url=https://www.npo3.nl/toppers-op-weg-naar-moskou/TROS_1194472 |access-date=22 September 2022 |website=NPO3 |language=nl}}{{Cite web |date=19 March 2009 |title=Toppers onderweg naar Moskou |url=https://www.trouw.nl/nieuws/toppers-onderweg-naar-moskou~b811fe19/ |access-date=22 September 2022 |website=trouw.nl |language=nl}}
A Dutch-language version of "Angel of the Night" was covered by former Eurovision participant Gerard Joling (competed with "Shangri-La" in 1988), titled "Engel van mijn hart." The song was officially released on 4 September 2009.
At Eurovision
According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top nine songs from each semi-final as determined by televoting progress to the final, and a tenth was determined by back-up juries. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 30 January 2009, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals. The Netherlands was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 14 May 2009.{{cite web |last=Bakker |first=Sietse |date=2009-01-30 |title=LIVE: The Semi-Final Allocation Draw |url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=1857 |access-date=2009-01-30 |publisher=EBU}} The running order for the semi-finals was decided through another draw on 16 March 2009. As one of the six wildcard countries, the Netherlands chose to perform last in position 19, following the entry from Estonia.{{Cite web |date=16 March 2009 |title=Moscow 2009: Draw for the Running Order completed! |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/moscow-2009-draw-for-the-running-order-completed |access-date=4 September 2022 |website=eurovision.tv}}

= Voting =
The voting system for 2009 involved each country awarding points from 1–8, 10 and 12, with the points in the final being decided by a combination of 50% national jury and 50% televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.
Below is a breakdown of points awarded to the Netherlands and awarded by the Netherlands in the second semi-final and grand final of the contest. The nation awarded its 12 points to Norway in the semi-final and the final of the contest.
