Miss Universe Costa Rica, formerly known as Miss Costa Rica, is a national beauty pageant in Costa Rica. Until 2023, under the direction of Teletica, and from 2024, under the direction of Gente OPA (with which the pageant changes its name), it is responsible for selecting the Costa Rican representative in Miss Universe.

The current Miss Universe Costa Rica is Mahyla Roth from Cahuita, Limón. She will represent the country in Miss Universe 2025. She is the latest representative selected by this pageant.

History

Women of all ages, each representing different provinces and cities in Costa Rica, compete to represent Costa Rica for one year and participate in Miss Universe.

Costa Rica has participated in the Miss Universe pageant since 1954 and has sent 69 representatives in the history of the pageant. The event was broadcast by Teletica from 1960 to 2023. In February 2024, it was reported that Teletica lost the Miss Universe license to ¡Opa!, a television channel established in 2023, which renamed the pageant Miss Universe Costa Rica.

Since 2024, the pageant has had regional franchises, the first being San José, Cartago, Guanacaste, Puntarenas, Pérez Zeledón, Limón, and North Caribbean, which accounted for more than half of the participants in the 2025 pageant.
