Miss Puerto Rico
National beauty title in Puerto Rico competing internationally From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
Miss Puerto Rico is a national title bestowed on the women representing the archipelago and island of Puerto Rico in international beauty pageants.
Although an American territory, Puerto Rico participates in international sports competitions and beauty pageants under the flag of Puerto Rico as an entity separate from the United States. As in the Olympic Games since 1948 and the Pan American Games since 1955, it has competed independently in beauty pageants since 1952, when its representative debuted in Miss Universe as Miss Puerto Rico.[1][2]
In 1987, Puerto Rico became the ninth nation to win Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss International, the three oldest pageants. In 2019, it won Miss Earth, becoming the fourth nation to win the major Big Four pageants[3] aforementioned. In 2019, having previously won Miss Supranational and Miss Grand International, the contests constituting the six major Grand Slam pageants together with the Big Four,[4][5][6] it also became the first nation to win all said pageants. When Miss Intercontinental, the oldest minor pageant, is included, Puerto Rico is also the first nation to win all said seven pageants.
With 17 combined wins in the aforementioned groups of contests as of 2024, Puerto Rico is considered a powerhouse in the industry of beauty pageants.[7][8] It is the fourth nation globally with the most combined wins in these groups except in the Grand Slam, where it is the fifth nation globally. It is also the second Ibero-American nation with the most combined wins in these groups.
Beauty pageants are a part of the culture of Puerto Rico.[9] The businesswoman in the modeling and beauty industry in charge of many Puerto Rican representatives competing internationally between 1952 and 1998, Anna Santisteban, popularly known as the Hacedora de Reinas (Maker of Queens), is often recognized as the most influential promoter of pageants in the archipelago. As the holder of the Miss Universe franchise in Puerto Rico, Santisteban produced three international winners: 1970, 1985, and 1993.[10][11][12][13]

History
In its various forms, the Miss Puerto Rico beauty pageant has been held almost every year since the 1930s.[14] The winner of the contest represents Puerto Rico at the Miss Universe pageant each year.
The selection of Miss Universe Puerto Rico commences the year before the winner advances to participate in the Miss Universe pageant. Each Puerto Rican municipality may choose a representative who then enters the Miss Puerto Rico finals, traditionally held at a San Juan area hotel. The winner is crowned at the conclusion of the final competition.
There have been several changes to the pageant's ownership and name. Miss Puerto Rico was held from 1952 until 1998 under the direction of Anna Santisteban. From 1996 to 1998, Telemundo organized the contest under the name Miss Universe Puerto Rico. From 1999 to 2002, TeleOnce (now Univision Puerto Rico) obtained the franchise, renaming it Miss Puerto Rico Universe. Magali Febles organized the pageant between 2003 and 2009 and the pageant title remained the same. In 2009, Luisito Vigoreaux and Desireé Lowry obtained the franchise and renamed the pageant Miss Universe Puerto Rico. In 2018, WAPA-TV obtained ownership of the franchise, keeping the name of Miss Universe Puerto Rico and hiring Denise Quiñones as the pageant's director. In 2022, host, motivational speaker, Miss Puerto Rico Petite 2000 (national title), and Miss Global Petite 2000 (international title), Yizette Cifredo Hernández, became the new national director of the pageant.
Host
Puerto Rico has held the following Miss Universe editions:
In 1972, Puerto Rico became the first area outside the contiguous United States and first nation in Latin America to host Miss Universe. In 2001, Puerto Rico became the first participating nation—and only one as of 2024—to win the international title of Miss Universe as a host.

History
Currently, a pageant is not being held to choose the representative of Puerto Rico for Miss Intercontinental. The delegate is chosen from the group of finalists in Miss World Puerto Rico and prepared by the Miss World Puerto Rico organization, which is presided by Miss World 1975, Wilnelia Merced Forsyth, and directed by Ana Esther Avilés.
Placements
Puerto Rico has won Miss Intercontinental five times in 1986, 1991, 2010, 2016, and 2024, but the current organization of the pageant only recognizes four winners. Miss Intercontinental does not include Puerto Rico's 1991 win in their official archive.
Miss Intercontinental was held twice in 1991. Carmen Lynda Díaz from Puerto Rico won the first edition held in Lagos, Nigeria by Nigerian owners of the pageant, Silverbird Productions, which held the franchise from 1986 to 1991, and Elena Ivanova from Russia won the second edition held in Bonn, Germany by organizers working under the direction of the new owners of the pageant, a company from Germany, which held the competition in Europe from 1991 to 2003. Despite not being included in the official archive of the pageant by the current owners, Puerto Rico irrefutably won the first edition of 1991 in Nigeria, thus achieving its second Miss Intercontinental crown.[35][36][37][38]
Having produced five winners as of 2024, Puerto Rico is the country with the most crowns, along Venezuela and United States, which have 5 winners each.
Since it began to be awarded in 2008, Puerto Rico is the country with the most Miss North America titles, winning it seven times as of 2024.
