Did not compete between 1968—2023: The United States embargo against Cuba prevents US businesses, and businesses organized under US law or majority-owned by US citizens, from conducting trade with Cuban interests. It is the most enduring trade embargo in modern history. — Participation in the Miss Universe pageant invited many pros and cons, so it is not easy for Cuba to compete in the pageant.
Between 1961 and 1967 the name Cuba in Miss Universe was "Cuba Free", where the Miss Cuba competition used the name "Free" and was held in Miami, Florida, USA. Since 1968, Cuba has not been allowed to participate in Miss Universe due to political factors.
