Miss Grand Ireland is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Irish representatives chosen to compete at the Miss Grand International pageant. [1] [2] [3] [4] The title was first awarded in 2013 to the runner-up of Britain's Big Brother series 15, Ashleigh Coyle, [1] after she competed at the 2017 Miss International United Kingdom; [5] [6] however, Coyle did not partake in the international tournament in Vietnam.

Contents

In 2017, the license of Miss Grand Ireland belonged to the Culcheth-based event planner, Pageant Girl UK, which is also the organizer of the Miss International United Kingdom contest. [6] After the license was not renewed in 2018, it was purchased by a Dublin beauty pageant coordinator group led by Manuel Munares the following year. [2]

Since the title of Miss Grand Ireland was introduced in 2017, no Miss Grand National was held to select the titleholders; all of them were either determined through another pageant or directly hand-picked by national licensees in that particular year. [1] [2] [3] [4]

History

Initially, Ireland was expected to debut in Miss Grand International in 2017, when a Big Brother star from Derry, Ashleigh Coyle, was assigned to represent Ireland in the Miss Grand International 2017 in Vietnam. [1] Ashleigh obtained the title after she participated in the Miss International United Kingdom 2017 pageant where she was placed among the top 16 finalists. [5] [6] She withdrew for undisclosed reasons.

Ireland made an actual debutant in 2019 when a Venezuelan Irish, Manuel Munares, purchased the license and assigned a Thai Irish beauty queen who previously competed at Miss Grand Thailand 2019, Sudawan Kumdee, as the replacement of the original representative Hollie Hersey, to join the international contest in Venezuela, [3] [7] [8] and she was placed among the top 20 finalists, which is considered the only and highest placement, as of 2023, the Irish delegates obtained in the Miss Grand International. [9] The following Irish representatives for Miss Grand International were all also appointed; no Miss Grand National was organized to determine the titleholders. [4] [10]
