Eurovision Song Contest 1966

The Eurovision Song Contest 1966 was the eleventh Eurovision and was held on March 5, 1966 in Luxembourg. With Josiane Shen as the presenter, the contest was won by Udo Jürgens who represented Austria, with his song "Merci Cherie".

The rule stating that a country could only sing in any of its national languagess was origanly created in this year. This was possibly created due to the 1965 Swedish entry, "Absent Friend" which was sung in English.
