Since the first competition in the [[Miss Grand Spain]] pageant, Catalan representatives have not won the main title yet. The highest placement they obtained was the top 9 finalists, won by Ainhoa González Pérez, who represented [[Province of Tarragona|Tarragona]] in the [[Miss Grand Spain 2021|2021 national event]].<ref name=result2019/>
==History== Before establishing the Miss Grand Catalonia pageant, the Catalan representatives to the [[Miss Grand Spain]] national contest were determined through two provincial events including [[Miss Grand Barcelona]] and [[Miss Grand Girona]].<ref name=year2018>{{cite web|url=https://52.51.148.148/1826-nuestro-alumnado-esta-fuertemente-vinculado-al-certamen-miss-grand-barcelona/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20240413222651/https://52.51.148.148/1826-nuestro-alumnado-esta-fuertemente-vinculado-al-certamen-miss-grand-barcelona/|url-status=dead|archive-date=2024-04-13|title=¡Nuestro alumnado está fuertemente vinculado al certamen Miss Grand Barcelona!|language=es|date=2019|accessdate=14 April 2024|work=Thuya Escuela |via=[[Archive Today]]}}</ref>In some cases, the runners-up of these two provincial pageants were later assigned to represent other [[Catalonia#Provinces|Catalan provinces]] that lacked licensees.
