Notes

Debuts

• Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, Papua New Guinea, and Western Samoa competed in Miss World for the first time.

Returning countries

• Panama last competed in 1971.
• Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Sri Lanka last competed in 1975.

Withdrawals and Nations not competing

• Italy (Anna Maria Kanakis) was disqualified in the pageant, because organizers discovered that she competed in Miss World at the very young age of 15. Malta (Janice Galea) also had the same issue with age requirements, because her age was similar to Miss Italy before the pageant. At the very last minute, she was replaced by her successor, and first runner-up, Pauline Lewise Farrugia.
