Iceland participated in the ninth edition of the North Vision Song Contest, which was held in Oslo, Norway. The Icelandic broadcaster, RÚV, chose Hera Björk and her song Because You Can which was chosen via a national selection.

Before North Vision[]

RÚV confirmed in late May 2014 that they would be participating in the contest after qualifying to the final of the eighth edition. The broadcaster also announced that they would host the national selection known as Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins once again.

After North Vision[]

The Icelandic head of delegation at the time announced that he would be withdrawing from his position. Due to this, Iceland was left with no head of delegation, and consequently did not participate in the tenth edition which was held in Bergen, Norway. However, the country would go on to return in the eleventh edition after a new delegation was found.
