Reina Hispanoamericana, originally known as Reina Sudamericana (
South American Queen), was established in 1991 and is headquartered in
Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Initially, the competition was limited to contestants from the ten South American nations. In 2004, the pageant expanded to include participants from Panama and Costa Rica in Central America. By 2006, it further welcomed contestants from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Portugal, and Spain. The year 2007 marked a significant milestone when the competition opened its doors to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and the United States, prompting a name change to Reina Hispanoamericana to reflect its broader reach. In 2008,
Curaçao and Haiti joined the competition, followed by the Philippines, Canada, and Australia in 2017. Indonesia was invited as a special guest in 2023, and in 2024, the pageant further expanded its global presence by welcoming contestants from Guyana and Poland. == Titleholders ==
