The Miss Connecticut USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Connecticut in the Miss USA pageant. This pageant is currently licensed to, and produced by, Sanders & Associates, Inc..
Despite a number of semi-finals placements in the 1960s, Connecticut is overall one of the least successful states at Miss USA. From 1969 until 2002, not one Miss Connecticut USA had placed at the national competition. In 2002, this spell was broken by Alita Dawson, who placed 4th runner-up. Dawson was one of three former Miss Connecticut Teen USAs to win the Miss crown (although a former Miss Wisconsin Teen USA also won this competition).
Erin Brady of East Hampton became the first Miss USA ever from the state of Connecticut when she was crowned Miss USA 2013. The current titleholder is Olga Litvinenko.
Previously Miss Rhode Island 2007 and Preliminary Swimsuit Winner and Miss Photogenic at Miss America 2008.
