History 2008-2022: Hoa hậu Hoàn vũ Việt Nam In 2008, Công ty Cổ phần Hoàn vũ Nha Trang was granted the national license by the Miss Universe Organization to host Miss Universe Vietnam under the Vietnamese name Hoa hậu Hoàn vũ Việt Nam.
The first official contest was held at the Vinpearl Land resort in Nha Trang on 31 May 2008, with 20 contestants participating. The final included four competitions: evening gown, swimsuit, áo dài, and interview. The winner, Nguyễn Thùy Lâm, was host delegate for the Miss Universe 2008 pageant held 14 July 2008, also in Nha Trang.
There was no contest held from 2009 to 2014, so the winner or runners-up of either Miss Universe Vietnam or any other national pageant could be appointed as Miss Universe Vietnam.
Miss Universe Vietnam 2015 was held on 3 October 2015, at Crown Convention Center in Nha Trang, Vietnam, and organised by Công ty Cổ phần Hoàn vũ Sài Gòn (Unicorp).
From 2017, the pageant was accompanied by a reality television series called I Am Miss Universe Vietnam, in which contestants are put through different challenges and training programs in each weekly episode.
Until 2022, the pageant selected the country's representative for Miss Universe. The pageant changed its current English name, Miss Cosmo Vietnam after losing the license in 2023.
2023-present In 2023, the Vietnamese Miss Universe franchise was granted to a new license holder. However, Hoa hậu Hoàn vũ Việt Nam continued to be held as a standalone pageant under the new title - Miss Cosmo Vietnam. The winner of Hoa hậu Hoàn vũ Việt Nam would no longer be Miss Universe Vietnam and the new Miss Universe Vietnam competition would abandoned its Vietnamese name.
