- The 1991 contest was marked by upheaval and mishaps: plans to stage it in Sanremo were abandoned amid Gulf War security concerns, prompting a late move to Rome, and the show was widely criticised for technical and organisational problems, including lighting issues, sound failure during Sweden’s performance, and error-prone voting requiring repeated intervention by the EBU scrutineer.
- A notable rule change required half of each national jury to be music experts.
- Germany competed as a reunified state, while Malta returned after 16 years; the Netherlands withdrew due to Remembrance Day.
- Unusually, France and Sweden tied for first, triggering the tie-break procedure for the first time, awarding Sweden victory.
