==History== In the first decade of [[Miss Grand International]], Romania has always sent its representatives to compete, the license of which belonged to a [[Bucharest]]-based event organizer, Exclusive Events International, which is directed by Ernest Hadrian Böhm;<ref name=rom15/><ref name=rom161/><ref name=director/> all of the representatives during such a period were directly hand-picked, no Miss Grand national contest was held.<ref name=rom13/><ref name=rom15/><ref name=director/><ref name=rom142>{{cite web|url=https://www.mediafax.ro/life-inedit/delia-duca-reprezinta-romania-in-competitia-miss-grand-international-2014-din-thailanda-foto-video-13315651|title=Delia Duca reprezintă România în competiţia Miss Grand International din Thailanda|date=21 September 2014|accessdate=30 July 2023|language=ro|publisher=[[Mediafax]]|archivedate=29 July 2023|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20230729210100/https://www.mediafax.ro/life-inedit/delia-duca-reprezinta-romania-in-competitia-miss-grand-international-2014-din-thailanda-foto-video-13315651}}</ref>
Nonetheless, two years after Böhm granted the [[Miss Universe Romania]] license, his partnership with the Miss Grand International organizer, [[Miss Grand International#Miss Grand International Limited|MGI PLC]], was discontinued, and no other Romanian organs renewed the franchise, resulting in no Romanian representative in the [[Miss Grand International]] from 2020 to 2022.
Romania was expected to return in the [[Miss Grand International 2023|2023 competition]] in Vietnam.
