Traditionally, Miss Bonaire sent its winners to Miss Universe from 1967 to 1999. From 1973 to 1983, the winner of the Miss Bonaire pageant competed at Miss Intercontinental. Since the 2000s, the municipality has not competed at any international pageants. In 2010, the municipality declared to return to the international pageants.
In 2023, the 2022 Miss Bonaire, Ruby Pouchet, was sent to compete in Miss Grand International.[3]
Disallowed in Miss Universe
Since 2010, the Netherlands proclaimed Bonaire as a municipality of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Miss Universe Organization confirmed that the municipality is only allowed to compete at Miss Nederland and will not go to Miss Universe anymore. If the winner of the Miss Bonaire was crowned as Miss Nederland, she may compete in Miss Universe as "Miss Universe Netherlands".

Since then the official winner of Miss Bonaire represented her country at the Miss Universe pageant. On occasion, when the winner does not qualify (due to age) for either contest, a runner-up is sent. The last representative of Bonaire at the pageant was in 1999. Now, the winner competes in the Miss World.
