Aonach has participated in the Internatia Song Contest 52 times since making its debut at the 12th contest.

Aonach's first top ten result at the contest came in the 12th edition, its debuting entry, when Sylwia Grzeszczak finished fourth. This would be the first of three top ten results in six contests. Shy'm was fourth in the 15th edition and Tone Damli was seventh in the 17th edition.

Since it debuted in the 12th edition, Aonach has failed to reach the final on nine occasions. The nation made the final six consecutive times; from ISC 12 until ISC 17. Since then, results have been very inconsistent, with just 2 top 10 placings since.

The Aonachian representative in the Internatia Song Contest has been selected through a national final called AonachFest (organised by RTVRA) on numerous occasions. The other selections have been internal selections, as well as some joint national finals with other competing nations, including a joint national final with Nicolas' Neighbour, called Aobour Fest.

History of Aonach at the Interatia Song Contest

Aonach's debut in the Internatia Song Contest was a successful one, coming 4th with the internally selected 'Karuzela' performed by Polish singer Sylwia Grzeszczak. Entrants for the 13th, 14th and 16th contest were chosen using a national final called 'AonachFest'. Despite the spike of interest in the contest due to the popularity of these national finals, the results achieved by the entrants were rather mediocre. A return to the internal selection method for the 15th and 17th contest brought two top 10 results, as well as huge public interest in the contest.

However, since this, Aonach's results dramatically slipped. The nation achieved its first non-qualification in the 18th contest after a joint national final selection method with Grolskira was used. The results that followed were even more dismal, including a last position in the 20th contest. Two successive non-qualifications in the next two contests saw viewing figures for the contest drop dramatically. A qualification for the 23rd contest brought viewers some hope that Aonach's fortunes were revived, but the 19th position that was achieved did not help stop the slide in interest in the contest.

Results since the 23rd edition have continued to be very poor including two successive non-qualifications and a disappointing 22nd place in the 26th contest. There have been calls for the broadcaster to withdraw from the contest, with media circles citing it as a "waste of time, as well as being a waste of the TV licence payer's money".

Aonach's results have picked up in since the 30th edition, with two top 10 places (8th twice). However, viewing figures remain low compared to the rest of Internatia.
