Notes:

• In 1984, there were nine preliminary judges who each gave the contestants a score of 2, 3, or 4. This meant that the contestants could receive a minimum of 18 points and a maximum of 36.
• The 1984 rules required that at least one contestant from each continent advance to the top 15 semi-final round. This is why Miss Poland (with a score of 26) did not advance, while Miss Kenya (with a score of 20) did.

Notes

Returning countries

• Kenya last competed in 1968.
• Nigeria last competed in 1979.
• Sri Lanka and Tahiti last competed in 1982.

Withdrawals and Nations not competing

• Turkey did not attend the Miss World because of issues with franchise-holding both in national and in international pageants.
• Indonesia did not attend the Miss World because the Government banned Indonesian girls to compete such as Beauty Pageants.
