Miss U.S. International is the official United States of America (USA) preliminary to the Miss International Beauty Pageant (officially titled The International Beauty Pageant). The USA has sent a representative to the Miss International pageant since its inception in 1960. The only year a representative was not sent was in 2006.
The current titleholder is Shanel James of Maryland (representing East Coast), who was crowned on June 22, 2017 by Kaitryana Leinbach, Miss U.S. International 2016 and 4th Runner-up at Miss International 2016.
The USA was represented by Miss National Press Photographer in 1960, 1961 and 1962. From 1963 to 1967 the organizers ran the Miss American Beauty section two days before the Miss International finals. After 1967 the USA representatives were selected by other methods. For example, in 1968 Miss Welcome to Long Beach was sent to Japan as Miss American Beauty (Since 1987 as Miss USA).
Currently, Harrison Productions, LLC is the license holders for Miss International in the USA and the winner of the Miss U.S. International pageant competes at the Miss International Beauty Pageant.
