Table of Miss International runners-up and finalists
From 1960 to 1965, 1967–1979, 2008, and 2011–2019, the pageant has awarded a Top 5 with the Miss International, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Runner-Up being awarded. On the other hand, from 1980 to 2007 and 2009–2010, the pageant has awarded a Top 3 with the Miss International, 1st, and 2nd Runner-Up being awarded. Each runner-up was given a sash, plaque/trophy and a crown, apart from the winner (the first to do before it was also done by rival pageant Miss Earth). Only the 1966 and 2020 editions were cancelled.
Here is the list of the top delegates of Miss International, since its inception in 1960. The crowning of the runners-up was to see last year's Top 5 winners from 2016 to 2018.
Since the pageant is based in Japan, to understand carefully, the Japanese ranking for contest is usually as follows:
第1位 means 1st-Place finisher being designated as Miss International
第2位 means 2nd-Place finisher being designated as 1st Runner-Up
第3位 means 3rd-Place finisher being designated as 2nd Runner-Up
第4位 means 4th-Place finisher being designated as 3rd Runner-Up
第5位 means 5th-Place finisher being designated as 4th Runner-Up
The first Runner-Up of each edition of Miss International is the second placer behind the candidate who is crowned as Miss International (first placer). In some cases, she shall take over the title of Miss International, if:
The outgoing titleholder cannot fulfill her duties. This could happen and may result to resignation, giving up the title, or dethronement
The titleholder is dethroned due to deeds that violate the organization's policies. This has only happened in 2012.
第2位 who means the second place finisher being designated as 1st runner-up has been awarded sixty-two times (1960–2024).
This table lists the number of 1st Runner-Up titles by country. There are some special considerations:
As Japan was dethroned of the Miss International title in 2012, the Miss International position was not taken by the first runner-up.
The current 1st Runner-Up is Camila Roca from Bolivia, elected on November 12, 2024 in Tokyo, Japan.
The second Runner-Up of each edition of Miss International is the third placer behind the candidate who is crowned as Miss International (first placer) and the first Runner-Up (second placer).
