Miss Puerto Rico is a national title bestowed on the women representing Puerto Rico in international beauty pageants.
In 1987, Puerto Rico became the ninth nation to win the Big Three pageants of Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International. In 2019, Puerto Rico won Miss Earth, becoming the fourth nation to win the Big Four pageants. Having also won Miss Supranational, Miss Grand International, and Miss Intercontinental by 2019, Puerto Rico became the first nation—and only one as of 20 June 2024—to win the Big SixorGrand Slam and the Big Seven pageants.
As the second Ibero-American nation and fourth nation globally with the most titles in the Big Three, Big Four, Grand Slam, and Big Seven pageants, Puerto Rico, which has won 17 major titles as of 2023, is considered a powerhouse in the industry of beauty pageants, alongside Venezuela, United States, Philippines, and India.[1]
InPuerto Rico, beauty queens are an important part of the culture. The businesswoman in the modeling and beauty industry in charge of many Puerto Rican representatives in international pageants between 1952 and 1998, Anna Santisteban, popularly known as the Hacedora de Reinas (Maker of Queens), is recognized as the figure who established the fervent enthusiasm for beauty queens in Puerto Rico. As the holder of the Miss Universe franchise in Puerto Rico, Santisteban produced three international winners in 1970, 1985 and 1993.[2][3][4][5]
Despite being an American territory as a commonwealth (Spanish: estado libre asociado, lit. 'free associated state') with democratic self-governance, Puerto Rico competes in international beauty competitions as a separate and independent nation from the United States since 1952, as it does in the Olympic Games since 1948 and the Pan American Games since 1955.
As of 20 June 2024, the following 14 nations, in order of achievement year, have won Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International, or the three oldest and most prestigious international beauty pageants, collectively known as the Big Three:

Puerto Rico has won Miss Universe five times: 1970 with Marisol Malaret, 1985 with Deborah Carthy-Deu, 1993 with Dayanara Torres, 2001 with Denise Quiñones, and 2006 with Zuleyka Rivera; Miss World twice: 1975 with Wilnelia, Lady Forsyth-Johnson, and 2016 with Stephanie Del Valle; and Miss International twice: 1987 with Laurie Simpson, and 2014 with Valerie Hernández. In 1987, Puerto Rico became the ninth nation globally to win all three competitions. With 9 titles, Puerto Rico is the fourth nation globally with the most titles won in these pageants.
Miss Earth is historically considered the next most important pageant. Puerto Rico has won the title once with Nellys Pimentel in 2019.

With 10 titles, Puerto Rico is the fourth nation globally with the most titles won in these pageants.
The two most prestigious and relevant pageants after the Big four are: Miss Supranational and Miss Grand International. Puerto Rico has won both competitions once, winning Miss Supranational in 2018 with Valeria Vázquez Latorre, and Miss Grand International in 2013 with Janelee Chaparro Colón in the first edition of the pageant.

In 2019, Puerto Rico became the first nation in the world to win all seven. As of 20 June 2024, Puerto Rico is the only nation to have achieved this feat. With 16 titles, Puerto Rico is the fourth nation globally with the most titles won in these pageants.
With a decade of history, a high quality production, and more than sixty competing delegates, Miss Global is one of the most relevant international beauty pageants following the seven mentioned above.

In its various forms, the Miss Puerto Rico beauty pageant has been held almost every year since the 1930s.[6] 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.
As of 20 June 2024, the following nations, in order of number of finalists and semifinalists, have placed more times in the final night of the competition:

Miss Intercontinental Puerto Rico | María Cepero (2024) |
Currently, a pageant is not being held to choose the representative of Puerto Rico for Miss Intercontinental. In recent years, the delegate has been chosen from the group of semifinalists in Miss World Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico has won Miss Intercontinental four times in 1986, 2010, and 2016, but the current organization of the pageant only recognizes three 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.[7][8][9][10][11]
Having produced four winners as of 20 June 2024, Puerto Rico is the second country with the most crowns. Venezuela and United States have the most winners with 5 each.
Since it began to be awarded in 2008, Puerto Rico is the country with the most Miss North America titles, winning it six times as of 20 June 2024.
As of 20 June 2024, Puerto Rico has produced the following placements:
