Miss Earth USA 2019

Miss Earth USA 2019 was the 15th Miss Earth USA pageant, held at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, on June 30, 2019.

Yashvi Aware of Maryland (representing Midatlantic) crowned her successor Emanii Davis as Miss Earth United States 2019. Davis represented the USA at Miss Earth 2019 and placed first runner-up, earning the title of Miss Earth Air 2019.

Pageant protocol forces Davis to "resign" her Miss Earth USA title in order to fulfill the international duties of the elemental title. In this case, the first runner-up Libby Hill, who competed as Miss Earth Gulf Coast USA 2019, inherited the title of Miss Earth USA 2019.

Miss Earth 2018, Nguyễn Phương Khánh of Vietnam and Miss Earth Fire 2018, Melissa Flores of Mexico were guests of honor at the pageant.

It was the first year the pageant was held under its new name, Miss Earth USA.
