Other pageant notes[]

Withdrawals[]

•  Wyoming: Kaylynn Keller
•  Guam, Northern Mariana Islands,  Puerto Rico,  U.S. Virgin Islands - Last year's Miss World America pageant used the Miss United States system to determine the delegate for Miss World 2014 (with the winner, Elizabeth Safrit of North Carolina, being the delegate of course), despite the fact that these territories of the US already compete at Miss World, in addition to Miss United States. Because they already compete at Miss World, none of them sent a delegate to the pageant.^{[citation needed]}

Replacement[]

•  Utah: Breshell Hurley replaced Megan Retzko, who resigned due to personal reasons.
•  Washington: Delia Lubanovici replaced Trinity Shaffer, who resigned due to personal reasons.
