The competition featured contestants representing 31 states and regions across the United States, each vying for the national title.
The title was awarded to Ivana García, a 23-year-old model and philanthropist representing the state of Ohio. She was crowned by the outgoing titleholder, Miss Grand United States 2024, Cora Griffen of Georgia. Following her national victory, García represented the United States at the international parent competition, Miss Grand International 2025, which took place on 18 October 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand.
