Miss Universe 1976
Miss Universe 1976 was the 25th Miss Universe pageant, held at the Lee Theatre in Hong Kong, on 11 July 1976.
At the conclusion of the event, Anne Marie Pohtamo of Finland crowned Rina Messinger of Israel as Miss Universe 1976. It is the first victory of Israel in the pageant's history.
Contestants from seventy-two countries and territories participated in this year's pageant. The pageant was hosted by Bob Barker in his tenth consecutive year, while Helen O'Connell provided commentary and analysis throughout the event.
On 3 August 1971, the Miss Universe Organization and the Government Economic Development Administrator of Puerto Rico signed a contract to bring Miss Universe and Miss USA to San Juan from 1972 to 1976. However, the Puerto Rican government canceled the agreement in February 1973 because, according to Puerto Rican government officials, the agreement was allegedly illegal.
The pageant's 25th anniversary was supposed to be held in Israel. However, it was announced on 15 January 1976, that the competition would no longer be held in Israel after the Israeli Ministry of Finance refused to allocate $300,000 to host the competition in the country. According to then-Finance Minister Yehoshua Rabinovitz, if competition for Israeli tourism and propaganda is good, the funds should come from the Tourism and Foreign Ministry budget.
On 6 February, Miss Universe Inc. president Harold Glasser announced that the 25th anniversary of the pageant would be held on 10 July in Hong Kong, and all money raised from tickets would go to the Hong Kong Community Chest.
Contestants from seventy-two countries and territories were selected to compete in the pageant. Two candidates were selected to replace the original dethroned winner.
