Malta has yet to place in Miss Universe. The country was represented in the international beauty pageant by the winner of Star Malta from 1968 to 1988, Miss Republic of Malta from 1989 to 1994 and Miss Malta from 1995 to 2001.
From 2002 to 2015, Malta was not represented in Miss Universe. The first edition of Miss Universe Malta was won by Martha Fenech in 2016 and the title was won by Tiffany Pisani in 2017, Francesca Mifsud in 2018, Teresa Rugio in 2019, Anthea Zammit in 2020 and Jade Cini in 2021.
Second runner-up to Cini was Maxine Formosa, who was appointed Miss Universe Malta 2022. On June 30, 2023, Formosa crowned Ella Porteli as her successor.
