Georgia has competed ten times at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, debuting at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Rotterdam. Georgia has never hosted the Contest, although it has won the competition in 2008, 2011, and 2016. Georgia is the only country to have won three times.

Georgia's first entry was Mariam Romelashvili with the song Odelia Ranuni, which finished fourth of 17 entries at the contest in Rotterdam in 2007. Georgia was represented in 2008 by Bzikebi with the song Bzz.., performed in an imaginary language. The song went on to win the contest, receiving 154 points and a total of eight 12-point votes out of 14 countries, the second-highest proportion of 12 points received by a winner in either Eurovision Contests, just beaten by Anastasiya Petryk in 2012.

In 2009 Georgia sent the group Princesses with the song Lurji prinveli. It placed 7th being the third worst Georgian result so far. In 2010, the broadcaster selected Mariam Kakhelishvili to represent Georgia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Minsk with the song Mari-Dari.

In 2011, Georgia won the contest again with the band Candy who performed the song Candy Music. The song won the competition with 108 points making Georgia, along with Belarus and Malta, the only countries to win the contest twice.
