The now-called Miss Earth USA 2019, formerly titled Miss Earth United States up until last year, was the 15th edition of the Miss Earth USA pageant. It was held at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa on June 30, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Brittany Ann Payne returned as host for the third consecutive time.[1]
Yashvi Aware of Maryland (representing Midatlantic) crowned her successor Emanii Davis as Miss Earth United States 2019. Davis represented the USA at Miss Earth 2019 and placed first runner-up, earning the title of Miss Earth Air 2019.[2]
Pageant protocol forces Davis to "resign" her Miss Earth USA title in order to fulfill the international duties of the elemental title. In this case, the first runner-up Libby Hill, who competed as Miss Earth Gulf Coast USA 2019, inherited the title of Miss Earth USA 2019.[3]
Miss Earth 2018, Nguyễn Phương Khánh of Vietnam and Miss Earth Fire 2018, Melissa Flores of Mexico were guests of honor at the pageant.[4][5][6]
It was the first year the pageant was held under its new name, Miss Earth USA.
Background[]
On April 26, 2019, the Miss Earth USA organization confirmed the pageant would be held on June 30, 2019 at the South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada. This was the second time Nevada was served as the host state, with Laughlin last hosting in 2010.[7][8]
This edition also reflected changes in the age requirement, as the Miss Earth organization announced in January it would increase the age limit to 28.[9]
