Iceland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Unbroken", written by Pálmi Ragnar Ásgeirsson, Ásgeir Orri Ásgeirsson, Sæþór Kristjánsson and María Ólafsdóttir. The song was performed by María Ólafs. The Icelandic broadcaster Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV) organised the national final Söngvakeppnin 2015 in order to select the Icelandic entry for the 2015 contest in Vienna, Austria. After 12 songs competed through two semi-finals and a final, "Unbroken" performed by María Ólafs emerged as the winner, ultimately being selected through a public televote. In the second of the Eurovision semi-finals, Iceland failed to qualify to the final, placing fifteenth out of the 17 participating countries with 14 points. This was the first time since 2007 that Iceland had missed qualifying for the final.

Prior to the 2015 Contest, Iceland had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twenty-seven times since its first entry in 1986. Iceland's best placing in the contest to this point was second, which it achieved on two occasions: in 1999 with the song "All Out of Luck" performed by Selma and in 2009 with the song "Is It True?" performed by Yohanna. Since the introduction of a semi-final to the format of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004, Iceland has, to this point, only failed to qualify to the final three times. The nation has thus far managed to qualify to the final every year since 2008. In 2014, the band Pollapönk, performing the song "No Prejudice", placed the nation fifteenth in the final.
