Miss Jamaica World is a national beauty pageant in Jamaica that selects a contestant to represent the country in the Miss World beauty pageant.

History

The Miss Jamaica pageant's predecessor, the "Miss Jamaica Contest", dates back to 1959. The winner of Miss Jamaica represents Jamaica at the Miss World pageant from 1959 to present. The title of Miss Jamaica World was officially coined in 1978. The 1976 and 1977 representatives were appointed by then licence holder Mickey Haughton-James of the Spartan Health Club. Spartan held the franchise from 1976 to 2012 and resumed its leadership in 2017.

In 2018, Miss World Organization announced that the franchise to stage the Miss Jamaica World pageant as a precursor to Miss World has been granted to Crown of Beauty Jamaica Limited, whose principals are local playwright and impresario Aston Cooke and veteran entertainment specialist Weston Haughton.

Jamaica sent its first representative to Miss World in 1959. To date Jamaica has now garnered four Miss World titles (1963, 1976, 1993, and 2019).
