The Miss British Virgin Islands is a national beauty pageant in British Virgin Islands. The pageant was founded in 1976, where the winners were sent to Miss Universe and Miss International.

History

The Miss British Virgin Islands was held for the first time in 1975 by BVI Tourism, and Irene Penn-O’Neal won the first titleholder in that year.{{cite web|url= https://www.bvibeacon.com/six-contestants-vie-for-miss-bvi-crown/|title= Six contestants vie for Miss BVI crown|publisher= Zarrin Tasmin Ahmed|website= bvibeacon.com|date=12 July 2021}} Before the pageant formed into the British Virgin Islands, the BVI Miss Festival contest existed in the territory. Since 1976 the British Virgin Islands licensed the Miss Universe pageant and became an official organization in the territory for Miss Universe under the Ministry of Tourism in the British Virgin Islands.
