Miss Universe 1974 was the 23rd Miss Universe pageant, held on 21 July 1974[a][1] at the Folk Arts Theater in the Pasay, Philippines. It was the first Miss Universe pageant to ever be held in the Philippines, and in extension, Asia.[2] Margarita Moran of the Philippines crowned her successor Amparo Muñoz of Spain at the end of the event, marking the first and so far only time Spain has ever won a Miss Universe competition.
There were 65 delegates from around the world who competed for the 1974 title. Six months later, Amparo Muñoz, after refusing a planned travel to Japan, decided to relinquish her title.[3] Helen Morgan, the first runner-up, was unable to assume the title and fulfill the duties of Miss Universe 1974,[citation needed] because she went on to win Miss World 1974, although a controversy would force her to resign 4 days later.[4] The title of Miss Universe 1974 was not offered to any of the runners-up and Amparo Muñoz still remained as the official titleholder for that year.
