History

Miss Universe Tanzania identified was held for first time in 2007. Since that year the pageant became the official national franchise holder of Miss Universe, Miss Earth, Miss International and Miss Tourism Queen International pageants.

Since the pageant's inception, the second runner up of the Miss Universe Tanzania used to compete at Miss International until 2011 when the Miss Universe Tanzania organization severed ties with them and ceased to send representatives to said pageant. The second runner up is now sent to compete at the Miss Supranational.

In 2012 the organization was awarded the franchise of Miss Supranational and Tanzania was supposed to make a debut at the pageant by sending Winfrida Dominic as the country's first representative. However due to Visa problems, withdrew at the last minute.
