Miss Grand Haiti is a national title given to a woman chosen to represent Haiti at Miss Grand International. The title was first mentioned in 2013, when Miss Teen Haiti, Cassandre Paul, was appointed to compete at the inaugural edition of the Miss Grand International in Thailand; however, Paul withdrew for undisclosed reasons. Later in 2014, a New York-resident Haitian American, Lisa Drouillard, dominated herself as the Haitian contestant at the Miss Grand International 2014, and she was placed among the top 10 finalists, which is considered the only placement, to date, for Haiti at such a contest.
Since its first participation in 2014, no Miss Grand National has been held; the Miss Grand Haiti titleholders have usually been handpicked by the respective licensee; except in 2019, when the titleholder was determined through a 2009-established national pageant, Miss Haïti Caraïbes.
History Haiti debuted in the Miss Grand International in 2014 when Miss Teen USA 2011 finalist Lisa Drouillard, who resides in New York, purchased the license and appointed herself as the Haitian representative for the international contest held in late 2014 in Thailand, where she was named one of the final 10. Later in 2015, a medical student and former Miss Haiti Universe 2011 runner-up, , obtained the license and took part in the 2015 international contest also in Thailand; but was unplaced.
In 2017, the Miss Grand Haiti license was transferred to a Port-au-Prince-based national pageant directed by Kerlin Paulo, Miss Haïti Caraïbes, where the main winners were sent to compete at the Miss Earth pageant. However, under the direction of Paulo, almost all of the country representatives for the Miss Grand International were appointed, except in 2019, when the first runner-up of the Miss Haïti Caraïbes contest was assumed to be Miss Grand Haiti.
