The Netherlands was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with the song "Arcade", written by Duncan Laurence, Joel Sjöö, Wouter Hardy, and Will Knox, and performed by Laurence himself. The Dutch participating broadcaster, AVROTROS, internally selected its entry for the contest. Laurence's appointment as the Dutch representative was announced on 21 January 2019, while the song, "Arcade", was presented to the public on 7 March 2019.
The Netherlands was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 16 May 2019. Performing during the show in position 16, "Arcade" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 18 May. It was later revealed that the Netherlands placed first out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 280 points. In the final, the Netherlands placed first out of the 26 participating countries, winning the contest with 498 points. This was the Netherlands' fifth win in the Eurovision Song Contest, having last won in {{Escyr|1975}}.
Following the victory, AVROTROS, along with sister broadcaster {{lang|nl|Nederlandse Omroep Stichting|i=no}} (NOS) and their parent public broadcasting organisation {{lang|nl|Nederlandse Publieke Omroep|i=no}} (NPO), was expected to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam. However, the 2020 contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Rotterdam was later retained as the host city of the {{Escyr|2021||2021 edition}}.
Background
Prior to the 2019 contest, AVROTROS and its predecessor national broadcasters had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing the Netherlands fifty-nine times since NTS's debut in the inaugural contest {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=1956|t=in 1956}}.{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 1956|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=273|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} Since then, they had won the contest four times: {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=1957|t=in 1957}} with the song "{{lang|nl|Net als toen|i=no}}" performed by Corry Brokken;{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 1957|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=274|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=1959|t=in 1959}} with the song "{{lang|nl|'n Beetje|i=no}}" performed by Teddy Scholten;{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 1959|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=276|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=1969|t=in 1969}} as one of four countries to tie for first place with "{{lang|nl|De troubadour|i=no}}" performed by Lenny Kuhr;{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 1969|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=286|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} and {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=1975|t=in 1975}} with "Ding-a-dong" performed by the group Teach-In.{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 1975|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=291|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} Following the introduction of semi-finals for the {{escyr|2004||2004 contest}}, the Netherlands had featured in six finals.{{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}} In {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=2018|t=2018}}, "Outlaw in 'Em" by Waylon placed 18th in the final.
As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, AVROTROS organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. The Dutch broadcaster had used various methods to select its entry in the past, such as the {{lang|nl|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 2013, the broadcaster has internally selected its entry for the contest. In {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=2013|t=2013}}, the internal selection of "Birds" by Anouk managed to take the country to the final for the first time in eight years and placed ninth overall. In {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=2014|t=2014}}, the internal selection of "Calm After the Storm" by the Common Linnets qualified to the final once again and placed second, making it the most successful Dutch result in the contest since its victory in 1975. For 2019, the broadcaster opted to continue selecting its entry through an internal selection.{{cite web|last1=Knoops|first1=Roy|title=The Netherlands: Eurovision 2018 candidate to be revealed in November|url=http://esctoday.com/151322/netherlands-dutch-esc-2018-candidate-to-revealed-november/|website=ESCToday|access-date=26 October 2017|date=8 December 2017}}

Following "Outlaw in 'Em" eighteenth place in the final in {{escyr|2018}}, the AVROTROS revealed on 23 October 2018 during the Dutch talk show {{lang|nl|Tijd voor MAX}} that it would continue to internally select both the artist and song for the Eurovision Song Contest, and that several artists had already been in contact with them in regards to participating.{{Cite web |date=24 October 2019 |title=Cornald Maas: "Belangrijkste is dat er een goed lied komt" |url=https://www.songfestivalweblog.nl/2018/10/cornald-maas-belangrijkste-is-dat-er-een-goed-lied-komt/ |access-date=14 September 2022 |website=songfestivalweblog.nl |language=nl}} Artists that were rumoured in Dutch media to be in talks with AVROTROS included singer Caro Emerald and the winner of the sixth series of the reality singing competition The Voice of Holland Maan,{{Cite web |date=25 October 2018 |title=Maan 'twijfelt' over deelname Songfestival |url=https://songfestival.be/en/landen/nl/maan-twijfelt-over-deelname-songfestival/ |access-date=14 September 2022 |website=songfestival.be |language=nl}} while polls conducted by Dutch entertainment portal RTL Boulevard and Eurovision website songfestivalweblog.nl were both won by the band Kensington and followed respectively by singers Samantha Steenwijk and Sharon den Adel.{{Cite web |date=19 October 2018 |title=Kensington en Sharon den Adel favoriet bij songfestivalfans |url=https://www.songfestivalweblog.nl/2018/10/kensington-en-sharon-den-adel-favoriet-bij-songfestivalfans/ |access-date=14 September 2022 |website=songfestivalweblog.nl |language=nl}}{{Cite web |date=30 October 2018 |title=Kensington favoriet voor songfestival in 2019 |url=https://www.rtlboulevard.nl/entertainment/music/artikel/4468301/kensington-absolute-favoriet-voor-songfestival-2019 |access-date=14 September 2022 |website=RTL Boulevard |language=nl}}
On 21 January 2019, AVROTROS announced that it had selected singer Duncan Laurence to represent the Netherlands at the 2019 contest.{{Cite web |date=21 January 2019 |title=Duncan Laurence will represent The Netherlands this year |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/duncan-laurence-netherlands-2019 |access-date=14 September 2022 |website=eurovision.tv}} The proposal of Laurence as the Dutch representative came from Ilse DeLange, who previously represented the Netherlands in 2014 as a member of the Common Linnets, while the selection occurred through the decision of a selection commission consisting of singer and television host Jan Smit, television host and author Cornald Maas, radio DJ Daniël Dekker and AVROTROS general director Eric van Stade.
On 7 March 2019, Laurence's Eurovision entry, "Arcade", was presented to the public through the release of the official music video, directed by Paul Bellaart, via the official Eurovision YouTube channel. The song was written by Laurence himself together with Joel Sjöö, Wouter Hardy and Will Knox.{{Cite web |date=2019-03-07 |title=Duncan Laurence takes 'Arcade' to Eurovision for The Netherlands |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/duncan-laurence-will-sing-arcade-netherlands-2019 |access-date=2019-03-08 |website=eurovision.tv |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Duncan Laurence, Arcade - Paul Bellaart |url=https://www.paulbellaart.com/duncan-laurence-arcade/ |access-date=14 September 2022 |language=nl}} Following the release of "Arcade", the Netherlands was installed by bookmakers as the favourite to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2019.{{Cite web |last=Granger |first=Anthony |date=9 March 2019 |title=The Netherlands: Duncan Laurence Now Favourite to Win Eurovision 2019 |url=https://eurovoix.com/2019/03/09/the-netherlands-duncan-laurence-now-favourite-to-win-eurovision-2019/ |access-date=15 December 2020}}
{{blockquote|text=When I was studying at the Rockacademie, I learned that you can appeal to a large audience without losing your own story in the process. I searched for touching stories that moves people, from my own life or someone else's. I got my inspiration from the story of a loved one who died at a young age. I decided to call the song "Arcade" - the words and chords came by themselves, which is why, despite the alternations in the song, it still sounds so organic. During the writing process of "Arcade", I received help from Joel Sjöö and Wouter Hardy, and because of that it developed into a shared story and not just my own.

Duncan Laurence specifically promoted "Arcade" as the Dutch Eurovision entry on 14 April 2019 by performing during the London Eurovision Party, which was held at the Café de Paris venue in London and hosted by Nicki French and Paddy O'Connell.{{cite tweet |author=London Eurovision Party |user=LDNEurovision |number=1111712136730955777 |date=29 March 2019 |title=For the very first time, we are delighted to welcome The Netherlands to LEP! @dunclaurence will perform "Arcade" at #LEP2019 on Sunday 14th April at Café de Paris and we cannot wait to meet him! #Eurovision https://t.co/T0Gz5ZExQ1 |language=en |access-date=12 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190509050101/https://twitter.com/LDNEurovision/status/1111712136730955777 |archive-date=9 May 2019 |url-status=live}} In addition to international appearances, promotional activities also occurred within the Netherlands where he performed at live events, radio shows and talk shows.

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. 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 28 January 2019, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. The Netherlands was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 16 May 2019, and was scheduled to perform in the second half of the show.{{cite web |last1=Jordan |first1=Paul |date=28 January 2019 |title=Eurovision 2019: Which country takes part in which Semi-Final? |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/semi-final-allocation-draw-results-2019 |access-date=28 January 2019 |website=eurovision.tv |publisher=European Broadcasting Union}}
Once all the competing songs for the 2019 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. The Netherlands was set to perform in position 16, following the entry from {{esccnty|Norway|y=2019}} and before the entry from {{esccnty|North Macedonia|y=2019}}.{{cite web|title=Exclusive: This is the Eurovision 2019 Semi-Final running order!|url=https://eurovision.tv/story/semi-finals-running-order-eurovision-2019|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=2 April 2019|date=2 April 2019|df=dmy-all}}
The two semi-finals and the final were broadcast on NPO 1 with commentary by Jan Smit and Cornald Maas as well as via radio on NPO Radio 2 with commentary by Wouter van der Goes and Frank van 't Hof.{{Cite web|url=https://www.avrotros.nl/eurovisie-songfestival/nieuws/detail/item/maak-kans-op-de-officiele-teamduncan-vlag/|title=Maak kans op de officiële #TEAMDUNCAN vlag|language=nl|date=2019-05-03|work=Eurovisie Songfestival}}{{cite web |title=Finale Eurovisie Songfestival live op NPO Radio 2 |url=https://www.nporadio2.nl/nieuws/25401/finale-eurovisie-songfestival-live-op-npo-radio-2 |access-date=17 May 2019 |website=nporadio2.nl |publisher=NPO}} AVROTROS appointed Emma Wortelboer as its spokesperson to announced the top 12-point score awarded by the Dutch jury during the final.{{Cite web|url=https://eurovoix.com/2019/03/12/the-netherlands-emma-wortelboer-announced-as-spokesperson/|title=The Netherlands: Emma Wortelboer Announced as Spokesperson|first=Anthony|last=Granger|date=12 March 2019|access-date=15 December 2020}}

Shortly after the first semi-final, a winner's press conference was held for the ten qualifying countries. As part of this press conference, the qualifying artists took part in a draw to determine which half of the grand final they would subsequently participate in. This draw was done in the order the countries were announced during the semi-final.

== Marcel Bezençon Awards ==
The Marcel Bezençon Awards, first awarded during the 2002 contest, are awards honouring the best competing songs in the final each year. Named after the creator of the annual contest, Marcel Bezençon, the awards are divided into 3 categories: the Press Award, given to the best entry as voted on by the accredited media and press during the event; the Artistic Award, presented to the best artist as voted on by the shows' commentators; and the Composer Award, given to the best and most original composition as voted by the participating composers. Duncan Laurence was awarded the Press Award, which was accepted at the awards ceremony by Laurence.{{Cite web |date=18 May 2019 |title=Here are the winners of the 2019 Marcel Bezençon Awards |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/here-are-the-winners-of-the-2019-marcel-bezencon-awards |access-date=14 September 2022 |website=eurovision.tv}}
=Voting=
Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. 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. The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results will be released shortly after the grand final.{{cite web|url=https://eurovision.tv/story/exclusive-eurovision-2019-juries|title=Exclusive: They are the judges who will vote in Eurovision 2019!|last1=Groot|first1=Evert|date=30 April 2019|website=Eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=30 April 2019|df=dmy-all}}
