How many Miss Universe crowns does Nicaragua have? This is what many are wondering after Sheynnis Palacios’ historic victory as Miss Universe 2023 in San Salvador, El Salvador.
Many talk about the supposed ‘band weight’, which gives preference to other countries in the Miss Universe; countries such as the United States, Venezuela, Colombia, among others.
In history, the United States is the country with the most Miss Universe titles and crowns, so it was a surprise that for the first time, the winner was Central American and Nicaraguan.

How many Miss Universe crowns does Nicaragua have?
Until before Miss Universe 72, Nicaragua had not won any crown in the Miss Universe pageant.
However, it is important to keep in mind that Nicaragua’s participation in beauty pageants has been outstanding and has contributed to the representation of the country internationally.
Nicaragua’s history in the Miss Universe pageant dates back to the 1950s. Over the years, various Nicaraguan representatives have participated in the pageant, showcasing the beauty and cultural diversity of the country. Although the crown has not been achieved, the Nicaraguan candidates have left a positive impression on the international stage.
Sheynnis Palacios is the first candidate to give the crown to Nicaragua and it is also the first time that a Central American delegate wins.
In 2013, Nicaragua managed to be included for the first time in the ‘Top 16’ and then in 2020 in the ‘Top 21’.
