Luciano Marocchino had the Chilean franchise for Miss Universe since 2004, but did not send a delegate on 2007-2010 period. In 2011, Chile returned to the competition with Vanessa Ceruti, Miss Universo Chile 2011.

The national broadcaster, Chilevisión held the contest from 2016 up to 2018.
In 2019 Keno Manzur took over the Miss Universe franchise in Chile as National Director.
