The date and venue of the Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2023 coronation night have yet to be announced. It will be the 67th edition of the beauty pageant that selects Puerto Rico’s Miss Universe candidate.

Currently, Puerto Rico has five Miss Universe crowns. The unincorporated territory of the United States won the international beauty pageant via Marisol Malaret in 1970, Deborah Carthy-Deu in 1985, Dayanara Torres in 1993, Denise Quiñones in 2001 and Zuleyka Rivera in 2006.

Representing Fajardo, Ashley Ann Cariño, 28, was crowned Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2022 at Luis A. Ferré Performing Arts Center in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She finished in the Top 5 at Miss Universe 2022 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA on January 14, 2023.
