Reinas de Costa Rica is a national beauty pageant in Costa Rica that selects representatives to the Miss World and Miss International pageant. After the Miss Costa Rica pageant stopped sending contestants to the Miss World and Miss International pageants in 2006, the franchise was acquired by the Reinas de Costa Rica organization presided by Alan Aleman. However, after two years of absence in the Miss World pageant in 2017-2018, the organization eventually lost the franchise to the newly established contest, Concurso Nacional de Belleza de Costa Rica in 2019. [1] The organization also lost the Miss Earth franchise to Jose Vásconez in 2016. [2] [3]

This pageant is unrelated to the Miss Costa Rica Organization.

The following women have represented Costa Rica in three of the Big Four major international beauty pageants for women. [4] [5] These are Miss World, Miss International, and Miss Earth with the exception of Miss Universe which has its own national franchise in Costa Rica. [6] [7] [8]

Representatives at Miss World

On occasion, when the candidate does not qualify (due to age) for either contest, another girl is sent.

In 2005, Costa Rica was crowned as Miss Asia Pacific International 2005. She withdrew the title and competed at the Miss World pageant. This is the first time Costa Rica withdrew the title as the reigning queen. Later in 2007, Committee Miss Costa Rica has created a separate pageant called "Reinas de Costa Rica" to select its representative for Miss World 2007 and then lost the franchise to the Concurso Nacional de Belleza de Costa Rica in 2019.
