There were 65 delegates from around the world who competed for the 1974 title. Six months later, Amparo Muñoz, after refusing a planned travel to Japan, decided to relinquish her title.[3] Helen Morgan, the first runner-up, was unable to assume the title and fulfill the duties of Miss Universe 1974,[citation needed] because she went on to win Miss World 1974, although a controversy would force her to resign 4 days later.[4] The title of Miss Universe 1974 was not offered to any of the runners-up and Amparo Muñoz still remained as the official titleholder for that year.
