Romania participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Romanian entry was selected through Selecția Națională 2014, a national final organised by the Romanian broadcaster Televiziunea Română (TVR). Paula Seling and Ovi represented Romania with the song "Miracle", which qualified from the second semi-final to compete in the final. Romania placed 12th in the final, scoring 72 points.
Selecția Națională 2014 was the national final format developed by TVR in order to select Romania's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014. The Romanian broadcaster accepted submissions from 15 January 2014 until the deadline on 14 February 2014. At the close of the submission deadline, TVR received 150 eligible entries. A selection panel selected twelve entries from the received submissions to compete in the televised show. The draw for running order took place on 21 February 2014.
The national final took place at the Sică Alexandrescu Drama Theatre in Brașov on 1 March 2014 and was presented by Nicolle Stănese. A combination of votes from a jury panel and the votes from public televoting determined the winning entry: "Miracle" performed by Paula Seling and Ovi. The duo previously represented Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Playing with Fire". The jury panel that decided 50% of the outcome consisted of jury president, musician and politician Madalin Voicu, musical director Alexandra Cepraga, 2008 Romanian Eurovision entrant Nico, composer and producer Mihai Stoica and conductor, lyricist and actress .
