National pageant notes
Returning countries and territories
- Tahiti will be returning to Miss Universe after 24 years under the name French Polynesia. The territory had previously sent delegates under the name Tahiti, though Tahiti is only one island in French Polynesia. A new pageant, Miss French Polynesia, has been created to send contestants to Miss Universe and Miss World, in contrast with the traditional Miss Tahiti Nui, whose winner is sent to Miss France and whose runner-up is sent to Miss Earth.
- Northern Marianas and Sweden last competed in 2006.
- Bulgaria, Lebanon, and US Virgin Islands last competed in 2007.
