Nicaragua competed at Miss Grand International for the first time in 2014, by María Rivera, the appointed representative from Managua.[1][4] In 2016, the Miss Nicaragua, headed by Karen Celebertti, had obtained the license for the 2016 – 2017, then the country representatives were elected via such a national competition.[1] After an absence in 2018, the León-based designer Saúl Benítez later purchased the license in the following year, however, his first two affiliated titleholders – Vanessa Baldizón and Teresa Moreno – were designated without organizing the contest,[1] both of them were the national finalists of Miss Nicaragua 2017.[5][6] In 2021, Benítez ran the first contest of Miss Grand Nicaragua on 8 August at Jose de la Cruz Mena Municipal Theater of the León city, aiming to determine the country representative for the 2021 and 2022 edition of Miss Grand International.[1][7] The contest consisted of 9 candidates from 7 departments, including Boaco, Granada, León, Managua, RACCN, RACCS, and Río San Juan, of which, both Managua and the RACCN was sending 2 delegates to take part.[1] In the final round, Epifanía Solís of Managua together with Maycrin Jáenz of Granada were sequentially announced Miss Grand Nicaragua 2021 and 2022.[1][7][8]

Since the debutant in 2014, to date, none of Nicaragua's representatives been qualified for the further round on the international stage.[1] However, the 2021 candidate, Epifanía Solís, was placed among the top 10 best in a swimsuit competition, one of the sub-contests in Miss Grand International 2021 [id] pageant.[9]
