The Miss British Virgin Islands was held for the first time in 1975 by BVI Tourism, and Irene Penn-O’Neal won the first titleholder in that year.[1] Before the pageant formed into the British Virgin Islands, the BVI Miss Festival contest existed in the territory. Since 1976 the British Virgin Islands licensed the Miss Universe pageant and became an official organization in the territory for Miss Universe under the Ministry of Tourism in the British Virgin Islands.
Began 2021 there are 3 main titles in the British Virgin Islands. The International representations will wear Miss Universe British Virgin Islands and Miss World British Virgin Islands, and the Miss British Virgin Islands title will be national ambassador of local tourism in the territory.
The winner of Miss British Virgin Islands represents her country at the Miss Universe. On occasion, when the winner does not qualify (due to age) for either contest, a runner-up is sent.
The 1st Runner-up of Miss British Virgin Islands crowned Miss British Virgin Islands World until 2017. Began 2018 an independent selection, Miss World BVI crowned the winner to Miss World pageant.
