The Amerivision IRL Song Contest is a constest created by me as an attempt to recreate the Eurovision formula in the american continent, while using the correct timestamps for each edition, which means the competition begins in 1956 and goes all the way through the present day, all while listening to songs from each respective year.
Participating countries
All countries located in the american continent can participate of the event, however, the event started to happen in an era that most american nations didn't have access to television, so they gradually joined in as television arrived in the nations. Below we have a list of debuts per edition.

The only american countries and territories that are left to debut in the competition are Anguilla, Falkland Islands, Montserrat, Saba, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre and Miquelon Sint Eustatius and Sint Maarten.
Cuba participated once of the cup in 1957 and withrdrew of the contest, only to return again in 1997.
