The state pageant directors are:

Connecticut has been one of the least successful states at Miss Teen USA. In 2002, Ashley Bickford's placement followed the 4th runner-up placement of Miss Connecticut USA Alita Dawson, who had previously been Miss Connecticut Teen-USA 1997. This was Connecticut's highest joint placement, and the highest joint placement of any state that year. Dawson was one of four Miss Connecticut Teen-USA titleholder to later win the Miss Connecticut-USA title.

The state has produced two Miss Teen USA winners: Logan West who was crowned Miss Teen USA 2012, and Kaliegh Garris who was crowned Miss Teen USA 2019.

Mya Xeller of New Haven was crowned Miss Connecticut Teen USA 2022 on April 10, 2022, at Marriott Airport Hotel in Windsor. She will represent Connecticut for the title of Miss Teen USA 2022.
