Puerto Rico won Miss Universe and Jamaica won Miss World in 1993. The difference between the two is that Puerto Rico competed in all three Grand Slam events, while Jamaica did not compete in Miss International. By a one-point-difference, Puerto Rico won this Caribbean beauty battle and became the Country of the Year 1993!

Dayanara Torres gave Puerto Rico its 3rd Miss Universe victory, in Mexico City. Ana Rosa Brito did not place in Miss World, while Brenda Robles had the same fate in Japan. It's interesting to note that both would go on to compete in Miss Universe. Ana Rosa would reach the Top 10 of Miss U 1997.

Jamaica placed 2nd, and Poland, the Miss International winner, was 3rd.

This is how the Top countries of 1993 scored:
1) PUERTO RICO (3002 points);
2) JAMAICA (3001);
3) POLAND (2752).

Top 5: Venezuela (2425) and Colombia (1676).
