==History== Guadeloupe made its debut in [[Miss Grand International]] in 2013 when Orphelie Morti was appointed by Georges Nandan, the director of [[Miss International Guadeloupe]] pageant, to compete in the [[Miss Grand International 2014]] pageant in Thailand, and then no Guadeloupe candidates in the pageant from 2014 to 2016.<ref name=gua13/><ref name=gua131/>
After three consecutive years of absence, Guadeloupe competed in [[Miss Grand International]] again in 2017, after the organizer of the [[Miss International Guadeloupe]] pageant obtained the license and the title of Miss Grand Guadeloupe was considered one of the supplemental titles in that year's pageant, in which it was delivered to Krystel Landry, who then competed at [[Miss Grand International 2017]] in Vietnam,<ref name=gua172>{{cite web|url=https://www.guadeloupe.franceantilles.fr/actualite/culture/deux-beautes-guadeloupeennes-en-asie-429793.php|title=Deux beautés guadeloupéennes en Asie|date=16 October 2017|accessdate=22 March 2024|language=fr|publisher=[[France-Antilles]]|archivedate=4 October 2023|url-access=subscription|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20231004090714/https://www.guadeloupe.franceantilles.fr/actualite/culture/deux-beautes-guadeloupeennes-en-asie-429793.php}}</ref><ref name=gua171/> but was unplaced.<ref name=res17/> The contract between the mentioned national organizer and [[Miss Grand International (company)|MGI PCL]] was discontinued at the end of 2019.<ref name=gua191/> Since then, as of 2023, no Guadeloupe candidate has competed at the Miss Grand International, despite the title of Miss Grand Guadeloupe being awarded annually; the titleholders were not sent to compete internationally.<ref name=gua21/><ref name=gua23/>
==National and international competition== From 2013 and 2017 to 2019, the runners-up of [[Miss International Guadeloupe]] were sent to compete internationally in [[Miss Grand International]]. Later in 2024, Guadeloupe sent its representative to participate in [[Miss Grand France]],<ref name=gua24/> as detailed below. {{table alignment}} {| class="wikitable defaultcenter col2left"
