Idaho is one of the least successful states in the history of the competition, with only four placements in fifty-seven years. The first placement came in 1964 with Dorothy Johnson, the first African-American semi-finalist.[1] Their second placement came in 1997 when former Miss Idaho Teen USA and Miss Teen USA 1989 Brandi Sherwood placed first runner-up. She later became the first woman to be crowned both Miss USA and Miss Teen USA when she succeeded winner Brook Lee who became Miss Universe. Sherwood has since pursued a career as an actress, and is a rotating model on The Price Is Right. The third came in 2004 when former Miss Idaho Teen USA 1999 Kimberly Glyn Weible made the top 10. Their fourth was in 2009, when Melissa Weber placed in the top 15.

Idaho is currently third tied with North Carolina in number of former teens have competed in this pageant: eight, including Sherwood, and they are all from the same state. It is the largest former teens competed in this pageant from the same state without being won the teen title previously from other states. In addition, three have also competed at Miss America.

Kim Layne of Nampa was crowned Miss Idaho USA 2020 on October 27, 2019 at Special Events Center in Boise State University in Boise. She will represent Idaho for the title of Miss USA 2020.
