The Cayman Islands has yet to have a Miss Universe placement. The British overseas territory made its debut in the international beauty pageant in 1980.

Representing the Cayman Islands, Dealia Walter and Maureen Lewis won the Miss Congeniality award in Miss Universe in 1980 and 1982, respectively. The territory did not participate in the competition from 1986 to 1988, 1997 to 1998, in 2005, in 2007, in 2010 and from 2013 to 2014.

On November 14, 2024, Raegan was chosen as one of the seven silver winners of the Voice for Change competition of Miss Universe 2024. On November 16, 2024, she represented the Cayman Islands and competed for the title against 124 other candidates at the Arena Ciudad de México (Arena CDMX) in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, Mexico and was unplaced.

Raegan is the first ever Olympic gymnast to compete in Miss Universe. Before this, she made history as the first ever Olympic gymnast of the Cayman Islands.
